Mathematics Question on Tangents and Normals

If the tangent to the function y=f(x)y = f(x) at (3,4)(3,4) makes an angle of 3π4\frac{3 \pi }{4} with the positive direction of x-axis in anticlockwise direction then f(3)f ' (3) is

A

-1

B

1

C

13\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

D

3\sqrt{3}

Answer

-1

Explanation

Solution

f(3)=tan2π4=tanπ4=1f'(3) = \tan \frac{2 \pi }{4} = - \tan \frac{\pi}{4} = - 1
