A tangent to the curve, y = f x at P x ,   y meets x -axis at A and y -axis at B . If A P : B P = 1 : 3…

A tangent to the curve, y=fx at Px, y meets x-axis at A and y-axis at B. If AP:BP=1:3 and f1=1, then the curve also passes through the point
  1. 13, 24
  2. 12, 4
  3. 2,18
  4. 3,128

Solution

Equation of tangent,

Yy= dy dx (Xx) A( xy dx dy ,0 ):B( 0,yx dy dx )

Given, AP:BP=1:3,

Using section formula, we get

y=yxdydx4

yxdydx=4y

dyy+3dxx=0

By integrating w.r.t x, we get

ln|y|+3ln|x|=lnc

|yx3|=c

f(1)=1

c=1

|yx3|=1

Hence, the curve passes throught the point 2,18
