Question : 16 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Find the equations of the tangent and the normal, to the curve 16x2+9y2 = 145 at the point (x1,y1), where x1 = 2 and y1 > 0.
OR
Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = x44x35x2 + 24x + 12 is
(a) strictly increasing, (b) strictly decreasing.
Solution:  
The given equation of the curve is,
16x2+9y2 = 145 ... (i)
Let (x1,y1) lies on the curve
16x12+9y12 = 145
⇒ 16 × 22 + 9y12 = 145 (Since x1 = 2)
9y12 = 145 - 64
9y12 = 81
y12 = 9
y1 = 3 ... (y1 > 0)
Coordinates of the given point are (2 , 3)
16x2+9y2 = 145
Differentiating with respect to x
⇒ 32x + 18y dydx = 0
dydx = 16x9y
(dydx)(2,3) = 3227
Equation of tangent at (2 , 3)
y - 3 = 3227 (x - 2)
⇒ 32x + 27y - 145 = 0
Equation of normal at (2, 3)
y - 3 = 2732 (x - 2)
⇒ 27x - 32y + 42 = 0
OR
Given that f (x) = x44x35x2 + 24x + 12
a) Strictly increasing
f (x) = x44x35x2 + 24x + 12
⇒ f' (x) = x33x2 - 10x + 24
Function is increasing when f ' (x) > 0
x33x2 - 10x + 24 > 0
⇒ (x - 4) (x + 3) (x - 2) > 0
⇒ x = - 3 , 2 , 4
x ∊ (- 3 , 2) ∪ (4 , ∞)
b) Strictly decreasing
f' (x) = 0
x33x2 - 10x + 24 = 0
⇒ (x - 4) (x + 3) (x - 2) < 0
⇒ x ∊ (- ∞ , - 3) ∪ (2 , 4)
