Q17 of 149 Page 16

The slope of the tangent to the curve x = 3t2 + 1, y = t3 – 1 at x = 1 is

Given that x = 3t2 + 1, y = t3 – 1


For x = 1,


3t2 + 1=1


⇒ 3t2 = 0


⇒ t =0


Now, differentiating both the equations w.r.t. t, we get



⇒Slope of the curve:





For t =0,


Slope of the curve =0


Hence, option B is correct.
