The equation of tangent to the curve $y=y=\sqrt{2} \sin \left(2 x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$…

The equation of tangent to the curve $y=y=\sqrt{2} \sin \left(2 x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$, is
  1. $2 x+y-\frac{\pi}{2}-1=0$
  2. $2 x-y-\frac{\pi}{2}+1=0$
  3. $x+y-\frac{\pi}{2}-1=0$
  4. $x-y-\frac{\pi}{2}+1=0$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{y}=\sqrt{2} \sin \left(2 \mathrm{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ & \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\sqrt{2} \cos \left(2 \mathrm{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)(2) \\ & \therefore\left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)_{\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}}=(2 \sqrt{2}) \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=2 \sqrt{2}\left(-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-2 \end{aligned}$ When $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}, \mathrm{y}=\sqrt{2} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=1$ Hence equation of required tangent is $(y-1)=-2\left(x-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \Rightarrow 2 x+y-\frac{\pi}{2}-1=0$
