Study Notes
Application of Derivatives
Equations of Tangents
- The equation of the tangent to the curve y = e^(-|x|) at the point where the curve cuts the line x = 1 is one of the options (e^(x+y) = 1, y = e^x, x + y = e, or none of these).
- The equation of the tangent to the curve y = e^(2x) + x^2 at x = 0 is related to the distance between the origin and the normal to the curve.
Tangents and Intersections
- The number of tangents that can be drawn from (2, 0) to the curve y = x^6 is one of the options (0, 1, 2, or 3).
- The number of tangents to the curve y^2 - 2x^3 - 4y + 8 = 0 that pass through (1, 2) is one of the options (1, 2, 3, or 6).
- The curves y^2 = 16x and y^3 = 16x intersect at right angles if 3a^2 is equal to one of the options (1, 2, 3, or 4).
Intersection and Angles
- If the curves y = 1 - ax^2 and y = x^2 intersect orthogonally, then a is one of the options (1, 1/2, 2, or 3).
- If the tangent at any point P(4m^2, 8m^3) of the curve x^3 - y^2 = 0 is a normal also to the curve x^3 - y^2 = 0, then find the value of (9m^2 + 2).
- If the curves y = ax and y = e^x intersect at an angle α, then tan α equals one of the options (loge(a)/(1 + loge(a)), (1 + loge(a))/(1 - loge(a)), loge(a) - 1, or none of these).
Other Applications
- The area of a triangle formed by a tangent to the curve 2xy = a^2 and the coordinate axes is one of the options (2a^2, a^2, 3a^2, or none of these).
- The normal of the curve x = a(cos θ + θ sin θ), y = a(sin θ - θ cos θ) at any θ is such that it makes a constant angle with x-axis, passes through the origin, or is at a constant distance from the origin, or none of these.
