If the lines x + y = a and x – y = b touch the
curve y = x2 – 3x + 2 at the points where the curve intersects the x-axis, then ${a \over b}$ is equal to _______.
curve y = x2 – 3x + 2 at the points where the curve intersects the x-axis, then ${a \over b}$ is equal to _______.
Correct Answer: 0.50
Explanation:
y = x2
– 3x + 2
$ \Rightarrow $ y = (x – 1)(x – 2)
At x-axis y = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ x = 1, 2
So this curve intersects the x-axis at A(1, 0) and B(2, 0).
${{dy} \over {dx}} = 2x - 3$
${\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)_{x = 1}} = - 1$ and ${\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)_{x = 2}} = 1$
Equation of tangent at A(1, 0) :
y = –1(x –1)
$ \Rightarrow $ x + y = 1
and equation of tangent at B(2, 0):
y = 1(x – 2)
$ \Rightarrow $ x – y = 2
So a = 1 and b = 2
$ \Rightarrow $ ${a \over b}$ = 0.5
$ \Rightarrow $ y = (x – 1)(x – 2)
At x-axis y = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ x = 1, 2
So this curve intersects the x-axis at A(1, 0) and B(2, 0).
${{dy} \over {dx}} = 2x - 3$
${\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)_{x = 1}} = - 1$ and ${\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)_{x = 2}} = 1$
Equation of tangent at A(1, 0) :
y = –1(x –1)
$ \Rightarrow $ x + y = 1
and equation of tangent at B(2, 0):
y = 1(x – 2)
$ \Rightarrow $ x – y = 2
So a = 1 and b = 2
$ \Rightarrow $ ${a \over b}$ = 0.5

Let ƒ(x) be a polynomial of degree 3 such that
ƒ(–1) = 10, ƒ(1) = –6, ƒ(x) has a critical point
at x = –1 and ƒ'(x) has a critical point at x = 1.
Then ƒ(x) has a local minima at x = _______.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Let f(x) = ax3
+ bx2
+ cx + d
Given f(-1) = 10, f(1) = -6
$ \therefore $ -a + b - c + d = 10 ....(i)
and a + b + c + d = -6 ......(ii)
adding (i) + (ii)
2(b + d) = 4
$ \Rightarrow $ b + d = 2 ....(iii)
f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c
Given f'(-1) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ 3a - 2b + c = 0 .....(iv)
f"(x) = 6ax + 2b
Given f"(1) = 0
$ \therefore $ 6a + 2b = 0 ....(v)
$ \Rightarrow $ b = -3a
adding (iv) + (v), we get
9a + c = 0 ....(vi)
$ \Rightarrow $ $9\left( {{{ - b} \over 3}} \right)$ + c = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ c = 3b
f(x) = ${{{ - b} \over 3}{x^3}}$ + bx2 + 3bx + (2 - b)
$ \Rightarrow $ f'(x) = -bx2 + 2bx + 3b
= -b(x2 - 2x - 3)
At maxima and minima f'(x) = 0
$ \therefore $ (x2 - 2x - 3) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
x = 3, -1
As a + b + c + d = -6
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{ - b} \over 3}}$ + b + 3b + 2 - b = -6
$ \Rightarrow $ b = -3
$ \therefore $ f'(x) = 3(x2 - 2x - 3)
$ \Rightarrow $ f''(x) = 3(2x - 2)
At x = 3, f''(x) = 3(2.3 - 2) = 12 > 0
$ \therefore $ Minima at x = 3.
Given f(-1) = 10, f(1) = -6
$ \therefore $ -a + b - c + d = 10 ....(i)
and a + b + c + d = -6 ......(ii)
adding (i) + (ii)
2(b + d) = 4
$ \Rightarrow $ b + d = 2 ....(iii)
f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c
Given f'(-1) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ 3a - 2b + c = 0 .....(iv)
f"(x) = 6ax + 2b
Given f"(1) = 0
$ \therefore $ 6a + 2b = 0 ....(v)
$ \Rightarrow $ b = -3a
adding (iv) + (v), we get
9a + c = 0 ....(vi)
$ \Rightarrow $ $9\left( {{{ - b} \over 3}} \right)$ + c = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ c = 3b
f(x) = ${{{ - b} \over 3}{x^3}}$ + bx2 + 3bx + (2 - b)
$ \Rightarrow $ f'(x) = -bx2 + 2bx + 3b
= -b(x2 - 2x - 3)
At maxima and minima f'(x) = 0
$ \therefore $ (x2 - 2x - 3) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
x = 3, -1
As a + b + c + d = -6
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{ - b} \over 3}}$ + b + 3b + 2 - b = -6
$ \Rightarrow $ b = -3
$ \therefore $ f'(x) = 3(x2 - 2x - 3)
$ \Rightarrow $ f''(x) = 3(2x - 2)
At x = 3, f''(x) = 3(2.3 - 2) = 12 > 0
$ \therefore $ Minima at x = 3.

Let the normal at a point P on the curve

If m is the slope of the tangent at P to the curve, then |m| is equal to
y2 – 3x2 + y + 10 = 0 intersect the y-axis at $\left( {0,{3 \over 2}} \right)$ .
If m is the slope of the tangent at P to the curve, then |m| is equal to
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Given curve : y2
– 3x2
+ y + 10 = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ 2y${{dy} \over {dx}}$ - 6x + ${{dy} \over {dx}}$ = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{dy} \over {dx}}$ = ${{6x} \over {2y + 1}}$
Let P be (x1, y1)
Slope of tangent at P = ${{6{x_1}} \over {2{y_1} + 1}}$
$ \therefore $ Slope of normal at P = $ - {{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ Equation of normal (y – y1) = $ - \left( {{{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}} \right)$(x – x1)
This normal passes through point $\left( {0,{3 \over 2}} \right)$.
$ \therefore $ (${{3 \over 2}}$ – y1) = $ - \left( {{{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}} \right)$(0 – x1)
$ \Rightarrow $ y1 = 1
Put y1 = 1 in equation of curve , then we get x1 = $ \pm $2
$ \Rightarrow $ |m| = slope of tangent = $\left| {{{6{x_1}} \over {2{y_1} + 1}}} \right|$ = ${{12} \over 3}$ = 4
$ \Rightarrow $ 2y${{dy} \over {dx}}$ - 6x + ${{dy} \over {dx}}$ = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{dy} \over {dx}}$ = ${{6x} \over {2y + 1}}$
Let P be (x1, y1)
Slope of tangent at P = ${{6{x_1}} \over {2{y_1} + 1}}$
$ \therefore $ Slope of normal at P = $ - {{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ Equation of normal (y – y1) = $ - \left( {{{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}} \right)$(x – x1)
This normal passes through point $\left( {0,{3 \over 2}} \right)$.
$ \therefore $ (${{3 \over 2}}$ – y1) = $ - \left( {{{2{y_1} + 1} \over {6{x_1}}}} \right)$(0 – x1)
$ \Rightarrow $ y1 = 1
Put y1 = 1 in equation of curve , then we get x1 = $ \pm $2
$ \Rightarrow $ |m| = slope of tangent = $\left| {{{6{x_1}} \over {2{y_1} + 1}}} \right|$ = ${{12} \over 3}$ = 4
