At what point on the curve y = x2 , x ∈ [-2, 2] at which the tangent is parallel to x-axis? |
|
Answer» Y = x2 , a continuous function on [-2, 2] and dierentiable on [-2, 2] f(2) = 4 = f(-2). All conditions of Rolles theorem is satised. Given the tangent is parallel to x-axis. f -1 (x) = 2x f-1 (c) = 2c f-1 (c) = 0 ⇒ 2c = 0 ⇒ c = 0 ∈ [-2, 2] where c = 0, y = 0 Therefore (0, 0) is the required point. |
