The length of the tangent drawn at the point p ( 4 ) on the curve x^ 2 3 +y^ 2 3 =2^ 2 3 is
Options
- A2 3
- B1
- C4 3
- D2
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
Given the curve x^ 2 3 +y^ 2 3 =2^ 2 3 Let x=2 ^3 , y=2 ^3 Now, d y d x =- at = 4 , d y d x =-1 and x= 2 2 2 = 1 2 and, y= 1 2 Now, equation of tangent at ( 1 2 , 1 2 ) is y- 1 2 =-1 (x- 1 2 ) y+x= 2 If y=0 x= 2 So, required length = ( 2 - 1 2 )^2+ (0- 1 2 )^2 = 1 2 + 1 2 =1
