(IV) Solve the following:
   Question 1.
   
   Find the equations of tangent and normal to the following curves:
   
   (i) xy = c
   
    2
   
   at (ct, \(\frac{c}{t}\)), where t is a parameter.
   
   Solution:
   
   xy = c
   
    2
   
   
   Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
   
    
   
    
   
   Hence, equations of tangent and normal are x + t
   
    2
   
   y â 2ct = 0 and t
   
    3
   
   x â ty â c(t
   
    4
   
   + 1) = 0 respectively.
  
   (ii) y = x
   
    2
   
   + 4x at the point whose ordinate is -3.
   
   Solution:
   
   Let P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) be the point on the curve
   
   y = x
   
    2
   
   + 4x, where y
   
    1
   
   = -3
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
   Hence, the equations of tangent and normal at
   
   (i) (-3, -3) are 2x + y + 9 = 0 and x â 2y â 3 = 0
   
   (ii) (-1, -3) are 2x â y â 1 = 0 and x + 2y + 7 = 0
  
    
  
   (iii) x = \(\frac{1}{t}\), y = t â \(\frac{1}{t}\), at t = 2.
   
   Solution:
   
   When t = 2, x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and y = 2 â \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
   
   Hence, the point P at which we want to find the equations of tangent and normal is (\(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{2}\))
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
   Hence, the equations of tangent and normal are 5x + y â 4 = 0 and x â 5y + 7 = 0 respectively.
  
   (iv) y = x
   
    3
   
   â x
   
    2
   
   â 1 at the point whose abscissa is -2.
   
   Solution:
   
   y = x
   
    3
   
   â x
   
    2
   
   â 1
   
   â´ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\)(x
   
    3
   
   â x
   
    2
   
   â 1)
   
   = 3x
   
    2
   
   â 2x â 0
   
   = 3x
   
    2
   
   â 2x
   
   â´ \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at } x=-2}\) = 3(-2)
   
    2
   
   â 2(-2) = 16
   
   = slope of the tangent at x = -2
   
   When x = -2, y = (-2)
   
    3
   
   â (-2)
   
    2
   
   â 1 = -13
   
   â´ the point P is (-2, -13)
   
   â´ the equation of the tangent at (-2, -13) is
   
   y â (-13) = 16[x â (-2)]
   
   â´ y + 13 = 16x + 32
   
   â´ 16x â y + 19 = 0
   
   The slope of the normal at x = -2
   
   = \(\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at } x=-2}}=\frac{-1}{16}\)
   
   â´ the equation of the normal at (-2, -13) is
   
   y â (-13) = \(-\frac{1}{16}\)[x â (-2)]
   
   â´ 16y + 208 = -x â 2
   
   â´ x + 16y + 210 = 0
   
   Hence, equations of tangent and normal are 16x â y + 19 = 0 and x + 16y + 210 = 0 respectively.
  
    
  
   Question 2.
   
   Find the equation of the normal to the curve y = \(\sqrt{x-3}\) which is perpendicular to the line 6x + 3y â 4 = 0.
   
   Solution:
   
   Let P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) be the foot of the required normal to the curve y = \(\sqrt{x-3}\)
   
   Differentiating y = \(\sqrt{x-3}\) w.r.t. x, we get
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
   â´ x â 2y â \(\frac{57}{16}\) = 0
   
   i.e. 16x â 32y â 57 = 0
   
   Hence, the equation of the normals are 16x â 32y â 41 = 0 and 16x â 32y â 57 = 0.
  
   Question 3.
   
   Show that the function f(x) = \(\frac{x-2}{x+1}\), x â  -1 is increasing.
   
   Solution:
   
   f(x) = \(\frac{x-2}{x+1}\)
   
    
   
   â´ f'(x) > 0, for all x â R, x â  -1
   
   Hence, the function f is increasing for all x â R, where x â  -1.
  
   Question 4.
   
   Show that the function f(x) = \(\frac{3}{x}\) + 10, x â  0 is decreasing.
   
   Solution:
   
   f(x) = \(\frac{3}{x}\) + 10
   
    
   
   â´ f'(x) < 0 for all x â R, x â  0
   
   Hence, the function f is decreasing for all x â R, where x â  0.
  
   Question 5.
   
   If x + y = 3, show that the maximum value of x
   
    2
   
   y is 4.
   
   Solution:
   
   x + y = 3
   
   â´ y = 3 â x
   
   â´ x
   
    2
   
   y = x
   
    2
   
   (3 â x) = 3x
   
    2
   
   â x
   
    3
   
   
   Let f(x) = 3x
   
    2
   
   â x
   
    3
   
   
   Then f'(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(3x
   
    2
   
   â x
   
    3
   
   )
   
   = 3 Ă 2x â 3x
   
    2
   
   
   = 6x â 3x
   
    2
   
   
   and fâ(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(6x â 3x
   
    2
   
   )
   
   = 6 Ă 1 â 3 Ă 2x
   
   = 6 â 6x
   
   Now, f'(x) = 0 gives 6x â 3x
   
    2
   
   = 0
   
   â´ 3x(2 â x) = 0
   
   â´ x = 0 or x = 2
   
   fâ(0) = 6 â 0 = 6 > 0
   
   â´ f has minimum value at x = 0
   
   Also, fâ(2) = 6 â 12 = -6 < 0
   
   â´ f has maximum value at x = 2
   
   When x = 2, y = 3 â 2 = 1
   
   â´ maximum value of x
   
    2
   
   y = (2)
   
    2
   
   (1) = 4.
  
    
  
   Question 6.
   
   Examine the function f for maxima and minima, where f(x) = x
   
    3
   
   â 9x
   
    2
   
   + 24x.
   
   Solution:
   
   f(x) = x
   
    3
   
   â 9x
   
    2
   
   + 24x
   
   â´ f'(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x
   
    3
   
   â 9x
   
    2
   
   + 24x)
   
   = 3x
   
    2
   
   â 9 Ă 2x + 24 Ă 1
   
   = 3x
   
    2
   
   â 18x + 24
   
   and fâ(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(3x
   
    2
   
   â 18x + 24)
   
   = 3 Ă 2x â 18 Ă 1 + 0
   
   = 6x â 18
   
   f'(x) = 0 gives 3x
   
    2
   
   â 18x + 24 = 0
   
   â´ x
   
    2
   
   â 6x + 8 = 0
   
   â´ (x â 2)(x â 4) = 0
   
   â´ the roots of f'(x) = 0 are x
   
    1
   
   = 2 and x
   
    2
   
   = 4.
   
   (a) fâ(2) = 6(2) â 18 = -6 < 0
   
   â´ by the second derivative test,
   
   f has maximum at x = 2 and maximum value of f at x = 2
   
   f(2) = (2) â 9(2)
   
    2
   
   + 24(2)
   
   = 8 â 36 + 48
   
   = 20
   
   (b) fâ(4) = 6(4) â 18 = 6 > 0
   
   â´ by the second derivative test, f has minimum at x = 4
   
   and minimum value of f at x = 4
   
   f(4) = (4)
   
    3
   
   â 9(4)
   
    2
   
   + 24(4)
   
   = 64 â 144 + 96
   
   = 16.
