The value P such that the length of subtangent and subnormal is equal for the curve y=e^ P x +P x at the point (0,1) is
Options
- AP= 1
- BP= 2
- CP= 1 2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. P= 1 2
Step-by-step solution
d y d x =P e^ p x +P ( d y d x )_ (0,1) =2 P Subtangent = |y d x d y | , subnormal = |y d y d x | Given; Subtangent = Subnormal d y d x = 1 2 p= 1 p= 1 2
