Answer» Correct Answer - A::D We have, ` xy=9 rArr y=(9)/(x) rArr (dy)/(dx) =-(9)/(x^(2)) " "...(i) ` Let ` ax+by+c=0 ` be a tangent to the curve xy=9 at ` (x_(1),y_(1)). ` Then, ` ((dy)/(dx))_((x_(1)","y_(1))) =" Slope of the line " ax+by+c=0 ` ` rArr -(9)/(x_(1)^(2))=(-a)/(b) ` ` rArr (x_(1)^(2))/(9) =(b)/(a) ` ` rArr (b)/(a) gt 0 ` `rArr` a and b are the same sign. `rArr (a gt 0 " and " b gt 0 )" or, "(a lt 0 " and " b lt 0 ) ` |
