Question

The tangent to the curve y = e^2x at the point (0, 1) meets the x- axis at

• A. (0, 0)
• B. (2, 0)
• C. (–1/2, 0)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(–1/2, 0)

Answer 2

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 2e^2x ; $\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)_{0,1} = 2$

equation of tangent y–1= 2x at x-axis

y = 0; x = –1/2
