Answer» align="absmiddle" alt="\huge{\underline{\underline{\SF{\pink{Solution:-}}}}}" class="latex-formula" id="TexFormula1" src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%7B%5Cunderline%7B%5Cunderline%7B%5Csf%7B%5Cpink%7BSolution%3A-%7D%7D%7D%7D%7D" title="\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{Solution:-}}}}}"> It is given that y = 1/(x - 1) , x ≠ 1 differentiate y with respect to x, dy/dx = -1/(x - 1)² , x ≠ 1 so, SLOPE of tangent of the curve at (x,y) = dy/dx = -1/(x - 1)² A/C to question, we equation of all lines having slope -1 that are tangents to the curve, y = 1/(x -1) , x ≠ 1. so, slope of tangent = - 1 => -1/(x - 1)² = -1 => (x - 1)² = 1 square root both SIDES, x - 1 = ± 1, x = 1 ± 1 = 0, 2 put x = 0, in the curve y = 1/(x - 1) y = 1/(0 - 1) = -1 now equation of line PASSING through (0,-1) : (y + 1) = -1(x - 0) => y + 1 + x = 0 hence, equation is x + y + 1 = 0 x+y+1=0 put x = 2, in the curve y = 1/(x - 1) y = 1/(2 - 1) = 1 now equation of line passing through (2,1) : (y - 1) = -1(x - 2) => y - 1 + x - 2 = 0 => x + y - 3 = 0 hence, equation is x + y - 3 = 0 x+y−3=0 |
