Paragraph: A curve y = m e^ m x where m > 0 intersects y-axis at a point P. Question: What is the slope of the curve at the point of intersection P ?
Options
- Am
- Bm^2
- C2 m
- D2 m^2
Correct answer
B. m^2
Step-by-step solution
Given y=m e^ m x , m 0 for slope, differentiate w.r.t. x d y d x = d d x (m e^ m x ) aligned & d y d x =m^2 e^ m x & ( d y d x )_ (0, m) =m^2 aligned
