The slope of the tangent to the curve, y=x^3-3 x^2 y at (1,1) is
Options
- A1 3
- B-3
- C-1 3
- D3
Correct answer
D. 3
Step-by-step solution
We have, y=x^3-3 x^2 y ....(i) Differentiate Eq. (i) w.r.t. x aligned d y d x & =3 x^2-3 (2 x y-x^2 d y d x ) d y d x & =3 x^2-6 x y+3 x^2 d y d x aligned aligned d y d x -3 x^2 d y d x & =3 x^2-6 x y d y d x (1-3 x^2 ) & =3 x^2-6 x y d y d x & = 3 x^2-6 x y 1-3 x^2 aligned Put x=1 and y=1 aligned & & [ d y d x ]_ (1, 1) & = 3-6 1-2 & & [ d y d x ]_ (1, 1) & =3 aligned
