$A(-2,9)$ and $B(1,6)$ are two points on the curve $y=x^2+5$. The coordinates of the point $\mathrm{C}$ on the curve such that the tangent drawn at $\mathrm{A}$ is parallel to the chord $\mathrm{BC}$, is
  1. $(-5,30)$
  2. $(0,5)$
  3. $(-9,86)$
  4. $(6,41)$

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} & \text {} \because y=x^2+5 \\ & \Rightarrow y^{\prime}=2 x \end{aligned} $ Equation of tangent line at point $A(-2,9)$ : $ \begin{aligned} & (y-9)=(2 x-2)(x+2) \\ & \Rightarrow y-9=-4 x-8 \Rightarrow y=-4 x+1 \end{aligned} $ let coordinate of $\mathrm{C}$ is $\left(\mathrm{x}^{\prime}, \mathrm{y}^{\prime}\right)$ Then, $\frac{6-y^{\prime}}{1-x^{\prime}}=-4 \Rightarrow 6-y^{\prime}=-4+4 x^{\prime}$ $ \Rightarrow y^{\prime}+4 x^{\prime}=10 $ $\because \quad \mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{x}^{\prime}, \mathrm{y}^{\prime}\right)$ lies on equation (i), we get $ \mathrm{y}^{\prime}=\mathrm{x}^{\prime 2}+5 $ Using $\mathrm{eq}^{\mathrm{n}}$ (iv) in equation (iii), we get $ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}^{\prime 2}+5+4 \mathrm{x}^{\prime}=10 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}^{\prime 2}+4 \mathrm{x}^{\prime}-5=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}^{\prime}=-5,1 \\ & \text { when } \mathrm{x}^{\prime}=-5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}^{\prime}=25+5=30 \\ & \text { Then } \mathrm{C} \equiv(-5,30) \end{aligned} $
