The length of the subtangent at any point (x₁, y₁ ) on the curve y=5^x is
Options
- A5^ x₁
- By₁ 5^ x₁
- C_e 5
- D1 _e 5
Correct answer
D. 1 _e 5
Step-by-step solution
Given, y=5^x aligned & d y d x & =5^x 5 & ( d y d x )_ (x₁, y₁ ) & =5^ x₁ 5 aligned Length of subtangent =y₁ d x d y = y₁ 5^ x₁ 5 = 5^ x₁ 5^ x₁ 5 = 1 5
