Q9 of 30 Page 6

Find the point at which the tangent to the curve has its slope .



Let the point be (a, b) at which the slope of tangent is


Slope of tangent is given by


Slope of tangent at (a, b) is given as which means


Differentiate y with respect to x




Put (a, b) in





Square both sides


4a – 3 = 9


4a = 12


a = 3


As (a, b) lies on the cure hence it satisfies the curve equation


Put (a, b) in curve equation




b = √9


b = 3


Hence the point at which tangent to given curve having slope is (3, 3)
