The length of the subnormal at any point on the curve y= ( x 2024 )^k is constant if the value of k is
Options
- A1
- B1 3
- C1 2
- D0
Correct answer
C. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
y= ( x 2024 )^k Differentiating w.r.t. x d y d x = k (2024)^k x^ k-1 Length of subnormal is |y d y d x |= k x^ 2 k-1 (2024)^ 2 k = constant Independent of x and y 2 k-1=0 k= 1 2
