The area bounded by the coordinate axes and normal to the curve `y=log_(e)x` at the point P( 1 , 0), isA. 1 sq. unitB. 2 sq. unitsC. `(1)/(2)` sq. unitD. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
We have,
`y=log_(e)x rArr (dy)/(dx) = (1)/(x) rArr ((dy)/(dx)) _(p) = 1`
The equation of the normal at (1, 0) is
`y-0= -1 (x-1) rArr x+y=1`
Clearly, it makes a triangle of area `(1)/(2)` sq. unit with the coordinate axes.
