The angle between the tangents to the curve `y=x^(2)-5x+6 ` at the point (2, 0) and (3, 0), isA. `pi//3`B. `pi//2`C. `pi//6`D. `pi//4` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The equation of the curve is `y=x^(2)-5x+6` `therefore (dy)/(dx) = 2x-5` Let `m_(1) and m_(2)` be the slopes of the tangents at P(2, 0) and Q(3, 0) to the given curve. Then, `m_(1)=((dy)/(dx))_(p)=2xx2-5= -1, m_(2)=((dy)/(dx))_(Q)=2xx3 -5=1` Clearly, `m_(1)m_(2)= -1`. So, required angle is `(pi)/(2)` |
