Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
The slope of the tangent to the curve y=f(x)y = f(x) at (x,f(x))(x, f(x)) is 4 for every real number xx and the curve passes through the origin.

What is the nature of the curve?

Options

  1. AA straight line passing through (1,4)(1,4)
  2. BA straight line passing through (−1,4)(-1,4)
  3. CA parabola with vertex at origin and focus at (2,0)(2,0)
  4. DA parabola with vertex at origin and focus at (1,0)(1,0)

Correct answer

A. A straight line passing through (1,4)(1,4)

Step-by-step solution

Given that the slope of the tangent to the curve y=f(x)y = f(x) is 44 for all xx.

dydx=4\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4

Integrating both sides with respect to xx:

y=4x+Cy = 4x + C

Since the curve passes through the origin (0,0)(0, 0), substituting x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0 gives:

0=4(0)+C⇒C=00 = 4(0) + C \Rightarrow C = 0

The equation of the curve is y=4xy = 4x.

This represents a straight line. Checking the given points, for x=1x = 1, y=4(1)=4y = 4(1) = 4.

Thus, the straight line passes through the point (1,4)(1, 4).
