RBSE Class 12 Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives Ex 6.3
Question 1.
Find the slope of the tangent to the curve y = 3x4 - 4x at x = 4.
Answer:
Differentiating y = 3x4 - 4x w.r.t x
= 3 × 4x3 - 4 = 12x3 - 4
At x = 4, = 12 × (4)3 - 4 = 12 × 64 - 4
= 768 - 4 = 764
∴ = 764 ⇒ m = 764
Thus, slope of the tangent at x = 4 is 764.
Question 2.
Find the slope of the tangent to the curve
y = , x ≠ 2 at x = 10
Answer:
Differentiating y = w.r.t. x
Question 3.
Find the slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 - x + 1 at the point whose x-coordinate is 2.
Answer:
Differentiating y = x3 - x + 1 w.r.t. x
= 3x2 - 1
At x = 2, = 3(2)2 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
∴ = 11
Thus, at x = 2 slope of tangent is 11.
Question 4.
Find the slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 - 3x + 2 at the point whose x-co-ordinate is 3.
Answer:
Differentiating y = x3 - 3x + 2 w.r.t. x
= 3x2 - 3
At x = 3, = 3 × 32 - 3 = 27 - 3 = 24
∴ = 24 ⇒ m = 24
Thus, at x = 3 slope of tangent is 24.
Question 5.
Find the slope of the normal to the curve x = a cos3 θ, y = a sin3 θ at θ = π/4.
Answer:
We have x = a cos3 θ and y = a sin3 θ.
Differentiating x and y w.r.t. θ
Question 6.
Find the slope of the normal to the curve x = 1 - a sin θ, y = b cos2θ at θ = .
Answer:
We have x = 1 - a sin θ, y = b cos2 θ.
Differentiating x and y w.r.t. θ
Question 7.
Find points at which the tangent to the curve y = x3 - 3x2 - 9x + 7 is parallel to the x-axis.
Answer:
We have y = x3 - 3x2 - 9x + 7
Differentiating w.r.t. x
= 3x2 - 6x - 9
Since, tangents are parallel to x-axis
∴ = 0
⇒ 3x2 - 6x - 9 = 0
⇒ 3(x2 - 2x - 3) = 0
⇒ (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
⇒ x - 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = 3 or x = - 1
Putting x = 3 and x = - 1 in equation y = x3 - 3x2 - 9x + 7
y = (3)3 - 3(3)2 - 9 × 3 + 7
⇒ y = 27 - 27 - 27 + 7
⇒ y = - 20
and y = (- 1)3 - 3(- 1)2 - 9(- 1) + 7
⇒ y = - 1 - 3 + 9 + 7
⇒ y = 12
Hence, required points are (3, - 20) and (- 1, 12).
Question 8.
Find a point on the curve y = (x - 2)2 at which the tangent is parallel to the chord joining the points (2, 0) and (4, 4).
Answer:
Slope of line joining the points (2, 0) and(4, 4)
m = = 2
Differentiating y = (x - 2)2 w.r.t. x
= 2(x - 2) ......... (1)
Since, tangent is parallel to the line joining the points (2, 0) and (4, 4).
∴ Slope of tangent = Slope of line joining the points (2, 0) and (4, 4)
⇒ = 2 ........ (2)
From equations (1) and (2)
2(x - 2) = 2 ⇒ x - 2 = 1
⇒ x = 1 + 2 = 3
Putting x = 3 in y = (x - 2)2
y = (3 - 2)2 = 12 = 1
Hence, required points is (3, 1).
Question 9.
Find the point on the curve y = x3 - 11x + 5 at which the tangent is y = x - 11.
Answer:
Differentiating y = - x3 - 11x + 5 w.r.t. x
= 3x2 - 11 ...... (i)
Given, slope of tangent = 1 ...... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
∴ 1 = 3x2 - 11 ⇒ 3x2 = 12
⇒ x2 = 4 ⇒ x = ±2
When x = 2, then y = 23 - 11 × 2 + 5 = - 9
When x = - 2, then y = (- 2)3 - 11(- 2) + 5 = 19
y = x - 11 is not the tangent at point (- 2, 19).
Since LHS. = 19
R.H.S. = - 2 - 11 = - 13
19 ≠ - 13
Hence, y = x - 11 is tangent at point (2, - 9).
Question 10.
Find the equation of all lines having slope - 1 that are tangents to the curve
y = , x ≠ 1
Answer:
∴ At (0, - 1) and (2, 1) slope of tangent is - 1.
Equation of tangent at point (0, - 1)
y - (- 1) = - 1(x - 0)
⇒ y + 1 = - x ⇒ x + y + 1 = 0
And at point (2, 1), equation of tangent
y - 1 = - 1(x - 2) ⇒ y - 1 = - x + 2
⇒ x + y = 2 + 1 ⇒ x + y - 3 = 0
Hence, x + y + 1 = 0 and x + y - 3 = 0 are required tangents.
Question 11.
Find the equation of all lines having slope 2 which are tangents to the curve
y = , x ≠ 3
Answer:
Differentiating y = w.r.t. x
...... (1)
Given, slope of tangent = 2 ......... (2)
From equations (1) and (2),
2 = -
⇒ 2(x - 3)2 = - 1 ⇒ (x - 3)2 = -
which is not possible since square of real number cannot be negative (x ∈ R, x2 > 0).
Hence, curve has no tangent with slope 2.
Question 12.
Find the equations of all lines having slope 0 which are tangent to the curve
y =
Answer:
Hence, required equation of tangent is 2y - 1 = 0 at point .
Question 13.
Find points on the curve = 1 at which the tangents are (i) parallel to x-axis (ii) parallel to y-axis
Answer:
Differentiating = 1 w.r.t. x
(i) When tangent is parallel to x-axis
= 0 ⇒ - = 0 ⇒ x = 0
Putting x = 0 in equation = 1
y2 = 16 ⇒ y = ±4
Thus, at points (0, ±4) tangents are parallel to x-axis.
(ii) When tangent is parallel toy-axis, i.e., perpendicular to x-axis, then
⇒ x2 = 9 ⇒ x = ± 3
Thus, at points (±3, 0) tangents are parallel to y-axis.
Question 14.
Find the equation of the tangent and normal to the given curves at the indicated points:
(i) y = x4 - 6x3 + 13x2 - 10x + 5 at (0, 5)
Answer:
Given, y = x4 - 6x3 + 13x4 - 10x + 5
Differentiating w.r.t. x
= 4x3 - 18x2 + 26x - 10
At(0, 5), = 4 × 0 - 18 × 0 + 26 × 0 - 10 = - 10
∴ = - 10
∴ At (0, 5) slope of tangent = - 10
∴ Equation of tangent at (0, 5) is
y - 5 = - 10(x - 0) ⇒ y - 5 = - 10x
⇒ y + 10x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 10x + y - 5 = 0
∴ At point (0, 5) slope of normal
=
Thus, at (0, 5) equation of normal is
y - 5 =
⇒ 10(y - 5) = x ⇒ 10y - 50 = x
⇒ 10y - x - 50 = 0 ⇒ x - 10y + 50 = 0
Thus, equation of tangent is 10x + y - 5 = 0
And equation of normal is x - 10y + 50 = 0
(ii) y = x4 - 6x4 + 13x2 - 10x + 5 at (1, 3)
Answer:
Given, y = x4 - 6x3 + 13x2 - 10x + 5
Differentiating w.r.t. x
= 4x3 - 18x2 + 26x - 10
At(1, 3), = 4 × 13 - 18 × 12 + 26 × 1 - 10 = 2
∵ = 2
∴ At (1, 3), slope of tangent = 2
And at (1,3) slope of normal
=
Now, equation of tangent at point (1, 3) is
y - 3 = 2(x - 1) ⇒ y - 3 = 2x - 2
⇒ y - 2x = 3 - 2 = 1 ⇒ 2x - y + 1 = 0
And equation of normal at point (1, 3) is
y - 3 = - ⇒ 2(y - 3) - 1(x - 1)
⇒ 2y - 6 - x + 1 = x + 2y - 6 - 1 = 0
⇒ x + 2y - 7 = 0
Thus, equation of tangent is 2x - y + 1 = 0
and equation of normal is x + 2y - 7 = 0
(iii) y = x3 at (1, 1)
Answer:
Given, y = x3
Differentiating y = x w.r.t. x
= 3x2
At point (1, 1), = 3 × 12 = 3
∴ = 3
∴ At point (1, 1) slope of tangent = 3
And at point (1, 1) slope of normal
=
Slope of normal at point (1, 1) =
At point (1, 1), equation of tangent
y - 1 = 3(x - 1) ⇒ y - 1 = 3x - 3
⇒ y - 3x + 3 - 1 = 0 ⇒ y - 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ 3x - y - 2 = 0
And equation of normal at (1, 1)
y - 1 = - (x - 1) ⇒ 3(y - 1) = - 1(x - 1)
⇒ 3y - 3 - x + 1
⇒ x + 3y - 3 - 1 = 0
⇒ x + 3y - 4 = 0
Thus, equation of tangent is 3x - y - 2 = 0
And equation of normal is x + 3y - 4 = 0
(iv) y = x2 at (0, 0)
Answer:
Given, y = x2
Differentiating y = x2 w.r.t. x
= 2x
At (0, 0), = 2 × 0 = 0
∴ = 0
At (0, 0) slope of tangent = 0
And at (0, 0) equation of tangent is
y - 0 = 0(x - 0) ⇒ y = 0
Since normal is ⊥r to tangent.
Hence, equation of normal, x = 0
Note.: Here tangent is x-axis (y = 0) and normal is y-axis (x = 0).
(v) x = cos t, y = sin t at t = π/4
Answer:
Given, x = cos t, y = sin t
Differentiating x and y w.r.t. t
y = x
Thus, equation of tangent is x + y - √2 = 0
and equation of normal is y = x
Question 15.
Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x2 - 2x + 7 which is
(a) parallel to the line 2x - y + 9 = 0
Answer:
Differentiating y = x2 - 2x + 7 w.r.t. x
= 2x - 2
For slope of line 2x - y + 9 = 0
2x + 9 = y ⇒ 2x - y + 9 = 0
∴ Slope of line = - = 2
Thus, slope of line 2x - y + 9 is 2.
Since, tangent is parallel to line 2x - y + 9 = 0.
Thus, slope of tangent = slope of line
∴ = 2 ⇒ 2x - 2 = 2
⇒ 2(x - 1) = 2 ⇒ x - 1 = 1
⇒ x = 1 + 1 = 2
Putting x = 2 in y = x2 - 2x + 7
y = 22 - 2 × 2 + 7 = 4 - 4 + 7 = 7
∴ Point is (2, 7).
∴ At point (2, 7), equation of tangent is
y - 7 = 2(x - 2) ⇒ y - 7 = 2x - 4
⇒ 2x - y - 4 + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x - y + 3 = 0
Hence, equation of tangent is 2x - y + 3 = 0
(b) perpendicular to the line 5y - 15x = 13
Answer:
For slope of line 5y - 15x = 13
5y = 15x + 13 ⇒ y = 3x +
∴ Slope of given line = 3
∵ Tangent is perpendicular to line
5y - 15x = 13
∴ Slope of tangent =
But slope of tangent = 2x - 2
⇒ 36y - 217 = - 12(x - 5/6)
(Multiplying both sides by 36)
⇒ 36y - 217 = - 12x + 12 × 5/6
⇒ 36y - 217 - 12x + 10
⇒ 12x + 36y - 10 - 217 = 0
⇒ 12x + 36y - 227 = 0
Thus, 12x + 36y - 227 = 0 is the required equation of tangent.
Question 16.
Show that the tangents to the curve y = 7x3 + 11 w.r.t at the points where x = 2 and x = - 2 are parallel.
Sol.
Differentiating y = 7x3 + 11 w.r.t. x
= 7 × 3x2
At point x = 2 slope of tangent
= 7 × 3(2)2 = 7 × 3 × 4 = 84
At x = - 2 slope of tangent
= 7 × 3(- 2)2 = 7 × 3 × 4 = 84
Thus, at x = 2 and x = - 2, slope of tangent are same.
∴ At point x = 2 and x = - 2, tangents are parallel.
Hence Proved.
Question 17.
Find the points on the curve y = x3 at which the slope of the tangent is equal to the y-coordinate of the point.
Answer:
Differentiating y = x3, w.r.t. x
= 3x2
At point (x1, y1), slope of tangent = 3x12
We have, 3x12 = y1 ..... (1)
Again (x1, y1) lies on curve y = x3
∴ y1 = x13 ........ (2)
From equations (1) and (2)
x13 = 3x12 ⇒ x13 - 3x12 = 0
⇒ x12(x1 - 3) = 0 ⇒ x1 = 0 or x1 = 3
For x1 = 0, y1 = 03 = 0
For x1 = 3, y1 = 31 = 27
Thus, (0, 0) and (3, 27) are required points.
Question 18.
For the curve y = 4x3 - 2x5, find all the points at which the tangent passes through the origin.
Answer:
Let the point be (x1, y1).
y = 4x3 - 2x5 ........ (i)
∵ Differentiating equation (1), w.r.t. x .
= 4 × 3x2 - 2 × 5x4
∴ = 12x2 - 10x4
∴ Slope of tangent at point (x1, y1)
= 12x12 - 10x14
∵ Point (x1, y1) lies on curve y = 4x3 - 2x5
∴ y1 = 4x13 - 2x15 ......... (2)
Now, at point (x1, y1) equation of tangent
y - y1 = (12x12 - 10x14) (x - x1)
Since, tangent passes through (0, 0)
∴ 0 - y1 = (12x12 - 10x14) (0 - x1)
⇒ - y1 = - x1(12x12 - 10x14)
⇒ y1 = 12x13 - 10x15 ........ (3)
From equations (2) and (3),
12x13 - 10x15 = 4x13 - 2x15
⇒ 12x13 - 4x13 = 10x15 - 2x15
⇒ 8x13 = 8x15 ⇒ 8x13 - 8x15 = 0
⇒ 8x13 (1 - x12) = 0 ⇒ x1 = 0, 1 - x12 = 0
⇒ x1 = 0, x12 = 1 ⇒ x1 = 0, x1 = ±1
Equation of curve y = 4x3 - 2x5
x1 = 0, y1 = 0
For x1 = 1, y1 = 4 × 13 - 2 × 15 = 2
For x1 = - 1, y1 = 4(- 1)3 - 2(- 1)5 = - 4 + 2 = - 2
Hence, required points are (0, 0), (1, 2) and (- 1, - 2).
Question 19.
Find the points on the curve x2 + y2 - 2x - 3 = 0 at which the tangents are parallel to the x-axis.
Answer:
Differentiating x2 + y2 - 2x - 3 = 0 w.r.t. x
2x + 2y - 2 = 0
⇒ 2y = 2 - 2x
⇒
Since, tangent is parallel to x-axis
∴ = 0 ⇒ = 0
⇒ 1 - x = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Putting x = 1 in equation, x2 + y2 - 2x - 3 = 0
12 + y2 - 2 × 1 - 3 = 0
⇒ y2 + 1 - 2 - 3 = 0
⇒ y2 - 4 = 0
⇒ y2 = 4
⇒ y = ± 2
Thus, required points are (1, 2), (1, - 2).
Question 20.
Find the equation of the normal at the point (am2, am3) for the curve ay2 = x3.
Answer:
Differentiating ay2 = x3, w.r.t. x
∴ Equation of normal at point (am2, am3)
y - am3 = - (x - am2)
⇒ 3my - 3am4 - 2x + 2am2
⇒ 2x + 3my - 3am4 - 2am2 = 0
⇒ 2x + 3my - am2(3m2 + 2) = 0
Question 21.
Find the equation of the normals to the curve y = x3 + 2x + 6 which are parallel to the line x + 14y + 4 = 0.
Answer:
Differentiating y = x3 + 2x + 6, w.r.t. x
= 3x2 + 2 (Slope of tangent)
Since, normal is parallel to x + 14y + 4 = 0.
Thus, - = slope of tine x + 14y + 4 = 0
⇒ - = - (Slope of normal)
⇒ 3x2 + 2 = 14 ⇒ 3x2 = 12
⇒ x2 = 4⇒ x = ±2
Putting x = 2 in y = x3 + 2x + 6,
y = 23 + 2 × 2 + 6 = 8 + 4 + 6 = 18
∴ Point is (2, 18).
At x = - 2, y = (- 2)3 + 2 × (- 2) + 6 = - 6
∴ Point is ( - 2, - 6).
∴ Equation of normal at point (2, 18) is
y - 18 = - (x - 2)
⇒ 14(y - 18) = - 1(x - 2)
⇒ 14y - 252 = - x + 2
⇒ x + 14y - 252 - 2 = 0
⇒ x + 14y - 254 = 0
And equation of normal at point (- 2, - 6) is
y - (- 6) = - {x - (- 2)}
⇒ y + 6 = - (x + 2)
⇒ 14(y + 6) = - (x + 2)
⇒ 14y + 84 = - x - 2
⇒ x + 14y + 84 + 2 = 0
⇒ x + 14y + 86 = 0
Thus, equation of normals are x + 14y - 254 = 0 and x + 14y + 86 = 0.
Question 22.
Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the parabola y2 = 4ax at the point (at2, 2at).
Answer:
Differentiating y2 = 4ax, w.r.t. x
2y = 4a ⇒
At point (at2, 2at),
Slope of tangent of point (at2, 2at) =
∴ Equation of tangent at point (at2, 2at) is
y - 2at = (x - at2)
⇒ ty - 2at2 = x - at2
⇒ ty = x + 2at2 - at2 ⇒ ty = x + at2
Now, slope of normal at point (at2, 2at)
= - = - t
∴ Equation of normal at point (at2, 2at) is
y - 2at ⇒ - t(x - at2)
⇒ y - 2at = - tx + at3
⇒ y = - tx + 2at + at3
Thus, equation of tangent is ty = x + at2
And equation of normal is y = - tx + 2at + at3
Question 23.
Prove that the curves x = y2 and xy = k cut at right angles, if 8k2 = 1.
Answer:
Solving x = y2 and xy = k, we get
y2 × y = k ⇒ y3 = k
⇒ y = k1/3 ⇒ x = (k1/3)2 = k2/3
Thus, curves x = y2 and xy = k cut each other at point (k2/3, k1/3).
Differentiating x = y2, w.r.t. x

Answer:
Differentiating y = w.r.t. x
⇒ 6(4y - 3) = 8x × 6 - 41 ⇒ 24y - 18 = 48x - 41
⇒ 48x - 24y - 41 + 18 = 0 ⇒ 48x - 24y - 23 = 0
Thus, equation of tangent is 48x - 24y - 23 = 0

(D) (- 1, 2)
Answer:
Differentiating y2 = 4x, w.r.t. x
2y. = 4 ⇒
∴ (slope of tangent) ....... (1)
And slope of line y = x + 1 = 1 ........ (2)
From equation (1) and (2), = 1 ⇒ y = 2
Putting value of y in y2 = 4x,
22 = 4x = 4 ⇒ 4x ⇒ x = 1
∴ Point is (1, 2)
∴ Line y = x + 1 is tangent of curve at point (1, 2)
Thus, (A) is correct.
