Question 25 Find the equation of the tangent to the curve ā(3š„ā2) which is parallel to the line 4x ā 2y + 5 = 0 . Let (ā , š) be the point on Curve from tangent to be taken We know that Equation of tangent is šš¦/šš„ š¦=ā(3š„ ā2) Differentiating w.r.t.š„ šš¦/šš„=(š(3š„ ā2)^(1/2))/šš„ šš¦/šš„=3/(2ā(3š„ ā2)) Slope of tangent at (ā , š) is ćšš¦/šš„āć_((ā , š) )=3/(2ā(3ā ā 2)) Given tangent is parallel to the line 4š„ā2š¦+5 So , Slope of tangent = Slope of 4š„ā2š„+5 Now, Given line is 4š„ā2š¦+5=0 ā2š¦=ā4š„ā5 2š¦=4š„+5 š¦=(4š„ + 5)/2 š¦=2š„+5/2 The above Equation is of the form š¦=šš„+š where m is Slope of line ā“ Slope of line is 2 Now, Slope of tangent at (ā , š)= Slope of line 4š„ā3š¦+5=0 3/(2ā(3ā ā2))=2 3=2 Ć2ā(3ā ā2) 3=4ā(3ā ā2) Squaring Both Sides (3)^2=(4ā(3ā ā2))^2 9=(4)^2 (ā(3ā ā2))^2 9=16(3ā ā2) 9/16=3ā ā2 3ā ā2=9/16 3ā=9/16+2 3ā=(9 + 32)/16 3ā=41/16 ā=41/(16 Ć 3) ā=41/48 Now, š¦=ā(3š„ ā2) Since Point (ā , š) is on the Curve Point (ā , š) Satisfies the Equation of Curve Putting š„=ā , š¦=š š=ā(3ā ā2) Finding k when ā=41/48 š=ā(3 Ć41/48ā2) =ā(41/16ā2)=ā((41 ā32)/16)=ā(9/16)=3/4 Hence the point is (h, k) = (41/48 , 3/4) We know that Equation of line at (š„1 , š¦1)& having Slope m is š¦āš¦1=š(š„āš„1) Equation of tangent at (41/48 , 3/4) & having Slope 2 is (š¦ā3/4)=2(š„ā41/48) (4š¦ ā 3)/4=2((48š„ ā 41)/48) (4š¦ ā 3)/4=(48š„ ā 41)/24 24(4š¦ ā 3)/4=48š„ā41 6(4š¦ā3)=48š„ā41 24š¦ā18=48š„ā41 48š„ā41ā24š¦+18=0 48š„ā24š¦ā23=0 48š„ā24š¦=23 Hence Required Equation of tangent is šššāššš=šš
