1.

y=x is tangent to the parabola `y=ax^(2)+c`. If a=2, then the value of c isA. 1B. `-1//2`C. `1//2`D. `1//8`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(4)
`y=ax^(2)+c`
`:.(dy)/(dx)=2ax=1`
Therefore, the point of contact of the tangent is
`((1)/(2a),(1)/(4a)+c)`
Since it lies on y=x, we have
`c=(1)/(4a)` Thus, c=1/8 for a=2.
