A particle moves along the curve $y^2=16x .$ A point on this curve at which the ordinate increases at twice the rate of abscissa is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (1, 4)
the curve equation,
$y^2=16x$
$⇒2y\frac{dy}{dx}=16\frac{dx}{dt}$
$⇒y\left(2\frac{dx}{dt}\right)=16\frac{dx}{dt}$
$⇒2y=8$
$⇒y=4$
and,
$⇒x=\frac{y^2}{16}=\frac{16}{16}=1$
∴ The required point, (1, 4).
