The slope of the tangent to the curve, y=x^2-x y at (1, 1 2 ) is
Options
- A4 3
- B2 3
- C3 4
- D3 2
Correct answer
C. 3 4
Step-by-step solution
Given curve, y=x^2-x y . On differentiating the equation, y=x^2-x y w.r.t. x , we aligned & get d y d x =2 x- (x d y d x +y ) & (1+x) d y d x =2 x-y d y d x = 2 x-y 1+x & ( d y d x )_ (1,1 / 2) = 2(1)- ( 1 2 ) 1+(1) = 3 / 2 2 = 3 4 aligned
