The equation of tangent to the curve $y=\sqrt{3x-2}$ which is parallel to the line $4x-2y+5=0$ is: |
$48-24y=59$ $23x-24y=48$ $23x+24y=48$ $48x-24y=23$ |
$48x-24y=23$ |
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 $(y-\frac{3}{4})=2(x-\frac{41}{48})$ $48y-36=96x-82$ $96x-48y=46$ $⇒48x-24y=23$ |
