The slope of the tangent at (x, y) to a curve passing through (1, 4 ) is given by y x - ^2 ( y x ) then the equation of the curve is
Options
- Ay= ⁻¹ ( c x )
- By=x ⁻¹ ( x c )
- Cy=x ⁻¹ ( c x )
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. y=x ⁻¹ ( c x )
Step-by-step solution
We have, d y d x = y x - ^2 ( y x ) Putting y=v x , so that d y d x =v+x d v d x v+x d v d x =v- ^2 v d v ^2 v =- d x x ^2 v d v=- 1 x d x on integration, we get aligned v & =- x+ c ( y x ) & =- x+ c aligned this passes through (1, / 4) therefore, 1= c So; ( y x )=- x+1 ( y x )=- x+ c y=x ⁻¹ ( c x )
