Question

For the curve x = t2 + 3t - 8, y = 2t2 - 2t - 5, at point (2, - 1)

Options

A.length of subtangent is 7/6.
B.slope of tangent = 6/7
C.length of tangent = /6
D.none of these

Solution

x = 2    ⇒    t2 + 3t - 10 = 0        ⇒    t = 2, - 5
y = - 1    ⇒    t2 - t - 2 = 0        ⇒    t = 2, - 1
⇒    t = 2    (common value)


Subtangent =
Tangent =
