Mathematics Question on Slope of a line
The slope of normal at any point (x,y),x>0,y>0 on the curve y=y(x) is given by xy−x2y2−1x2 If the curve passes through the point (1, 1), then e⋅y(e) is equal to
A
1+tan(1)1−tan(1)
B
tan(1)
C
1
D
1−tan(1)1+tan(1)
Answer
1−tan(1)1+tan(1)
Explanation
Solution
∵−dydx=xy−x2y2−1x2
dxdy=x2x2y2−xy+1
Assuming xy=v⇒y+xdxdy=dxdv
dxdv−y=v(v2+v+1)y
dxdv=xv2+1
∵y(1)=1⇒tan–1(xy)=lnx\+tan–1(1)
Put x = e and y = y(e) we get
tan–1(e⋅y(e))=1+tan–11.
tan–1(e⋅y(e))–tan–11=1
∴e(y(e))=1−tan(1)1+tan(1)
Hence, the correct option is (D): 1−tan(1)1+tan(1)
