The equation of all lines having slope 2 which are tangent to the curve y=1x−3,x≠3,y=\frac{1}{x-3}, x \neq 3, is

Options

  1. Ay=2y=2
  2. By=2xy=2 x
  3. Cy=2x+3y=2 x+3
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

The equation of the given curve is y=1x−3,x≠3\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}-3}, \mathrm{x} \neq 3 The slope of the tangent to the given curve at any point (x,y)(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}) is given by dydx=−1(x−3)2\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{-1}{(\mathrm{x}-3)^{2}} For tangent having slope 2,2, we must have 2=−1(x−3)2⇒2(x−3)2=−1⇒(x−3)2=−122=\frac{-1}{(x-3)^{2}} \Rightarrow 2(x-3)^{2}=-1 \Rightarrow(x-3)^{2}=-\frac{1}{2} which is not possible as square of a real number cannot be negative. Hence, there is no tangent to the given curve having slope 2.
