Q7 of 96 Page 15

Mark the correct alternative in the following:

`The value tangent to the curve y = x log x is parallel to the chord joining the points (1, 0) and (e, e), the value of is


y = x log x


Differentiating the function with respect to ‘x’,



Slope of tangent to the curve = 1 + log x


And, slope of the chord joining the points, (1, 0) & (e, e)



The tangent to the curve is parallel to the chord joining the points, (1, 0) & (e, e)


m = 1 + log x







Hence, Option (A) is the answer.
