The point on the curve x^2+y^2=a^2, y 0 , at which the tangent is parallel to the x -axis is
Options
- A(a, 0)
- B(-a, 0)
- C(0, a)
- D(0,-a)
Correct answer
C. (0, a)
Step-by-step solution
We have, x^2+y^2=a^2 2 x+2 y d y d x =0 d y d x = -x y Tangent is parallel to X -axis. d y d x =0 -x y =0 ; x=0 Putting the value of x in x^2+y^2=a^2 0+y^2=a^2 y=a, y 0 The point on the curve is (0, a) .
