Q37 of 64 Page 135

The curve has at (0, 0)

Given


Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get



Applying the power rule of derivation, we get





Now at (0,0), the above equation becomes





So the given curve at (0,0) has a vertical tangent, which is parallel to Y-axis.


Hence the correct option is option A.
