Tangent and Normal
Question

If the tangent to the curve y = xx2−3 ,  x ∈ R, (x ≠ ± 3), at a point (α, β) ≠ (0, 0) on it is parallel to the line 2x + 6y – 11 = 0, then

| 6α + 2β | = 9

| 2α + 6β | = 19

| 6α + 2β | = 19

| 2α + 6β | = 11

Solution

dydx|(α,β)=−α2−3(α2−3)2

Given that :

−α2−3(α2−3)2=−13

⇒ α = 0, ± 3      (α ≠0)

⇒β=±12     β≠0)

|6α + 2β| = 19
