If y=4 x-5 is a tangent to the curve y^2= p x^3+ q at (2,3) , then the values of p and q are respectively
Options
- A-2,7
- B7,-2
- C2,-7
- D-7,-2
Correct answer
C. 2,-7
Step-by-step solution
y^2= p x^3+ q ...(i) Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x , we get aligned & 2 y ~d y ~d x =3 p x^2 & ~d y ~d x = 3 p 2 ( x^2 y ) & ( d y ~d x )_ (2,3) = 3 p 2 4 3 =2 p aligned Since the line touches the curve, their slopes are equal. 2 p=4 p=2 Since (2,3) lies on y^2=p x^3+q . 9=2 8+q q=-7
