The equation of tangent to the curve $y=\sqrt{3x-2}$ which is parallel to the line $4x-2y+5=0$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → $48-24y=23$
curve: $y=\sqrt{3x-2}$
line: $4x-2y+5=0$
curve || line
so $y=2x+\frac{5}{2}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=2$ slope of line
Slope at same point = slope of line
so $y^2=3x-2$
so $(2y\frac{dy}{dx}=3)=2$ slope of line
$⇒\frac{3}{2y}=2$ so $y=\frac{3}{4}$ as $y=\sqrt{3x-2}$
so $x=\frac{y^2+2}{3}$
$⇒x=\frac{\frac{9}{16}+2}{3}=\frac{41}{48}$
so equation of tangent
$(y-\frac{3}{4})=2(x-\frac{41}{48})$
$48y-36=96x-82$
$96x-48y=46$
$⇒48x-24y=23$
