Options
- A9
- B10
- C12
- D13
Correct answer
A. 9
Step-by-step solution
y=x^2+x+16 . d y d x |_ (x 1, y 1) =2 x₁+1 Slope of line is y₁-0 d₁-0 = y₁ x₁ 2 x₁+1= y₁ x₁ 2 x₁^2+x₁=y₁ ...(i) Also, (x₁, y₁ . satisfies the curve: y₁=x^2+x₁+16 ...(ii) Put ii in i 2 x₁^2+x₁=x^2+x₁+16 x₁^2 =16 x= 4 x=4y₁= 16+4+16 m= y₁ x₁ = 36 4 =9
