At what point, the slope of the curve y = – x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27 is maximum? Also find the maximum slope.

Answer»

Given, curve = – x3 + 3x2 + 9– 27

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

dy/dx = -3x2 + 6x + 9

Let slope of the curve dy/dx = z

So, z = -3x2 + 6x + 9

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

dz/dx = -6x + 6

For local maxima and local minima,

dz/dx = 0

-6x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

d2z/dx2 = -6 < 0 Maxima

Putting x = 1 in equation of the curve y = (-1)3 + 3(1)2 + 9(1) – 27

= -1 + 3 + 9 – 27 = -16

Maximum slope = -3(1)2 + 6(1) + 9 = 12

Therefore, (1, -16) is the point at which the slope of the given curve is maximum and maximum slope = 12.

115806.

Find the equation of all lines having slope 2 which are tangents to the curvey = \(\frac{1}{x - 3},\) x ≠ 3

Answer»

slope of the line = 2 

slope of the curve = \(\frac{-1}{(x - 3)^2}\)

\(\frac{-1}{(x - 3)^2}\) = 2

⇒ 2(x -3)2 = -1

⇒ 2(x2 – 6x + 9) = -1

⇒ 2x2 – 12x + 19 = 0

which has no real roots b2 – 4ac < 0 

Hence there is no point on the curve

115807.

Find the slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 – 3x + 2 at the point whose x-coordinate is 3.

Answer»

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x2 – 3 dx 

slope at x = 3 is 3 (9) – 3 = 24.

115808.

Find the points on the curve y = x3 at which the slope of the tangent is equal to the y-coordinate of the point.

Answer»

y = x3 

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\)= 3x2

Given that \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = y = x3

∴ 3x2 = x3 ⇒ x2 (3 – x) = 0 

⇒ x = 0 or x = 3 

when x = 3, y = 33 = 27, 

when x = 0, y = 0 

∴ The required points are (0, 0), (3, 27).

115809.

The equation of the tangent to the curve y = 1 -ex/2 at the point of intersection with Y-axis is(a) x + 2y = 0 (b) 2x + y = 0 (c) x – y = 2(d) x + y = 2

Answer»

Correct answer is

(a) x + 2y = 0

The point of intersection of the curve with the Y-axis is the origin (0, 0).
