The length of the subtangent at (2,2) to the curve x^5=2 y^4 is
Options
- A5 2
- B8 5
- C2 5
- D5 8
Correct answer
B. 8 5
Step-by-step solution
Given that, 2 y^4=x^5 On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get gathered 8 y^3 d y d x =5 x^4 ( d y d x )_ (2,2) = 5(2)^4 8(2)^3 = 5 4 Length of subtangent = y d y / d x = 2 5 / 4 = 8 5 gathered
