A particle moves along the curve \(y=x^2+2 x\). Then, the point on the curve such that \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates of the particle change with the same rate is

  1. A \((1,3)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
  4. D \((-1,-1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{3}{4}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of curve is \[ y=x^2+2 x \] On differentiating both sides w.r.t. \(t\), we get \[ \frac{d y}{d t}=(2 x+2) \frac{d x}{d t} \] \[ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & 2 x & =-1 \\ \Rightarrow & & x & =-1 / 2, y=-3 / 4 \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Point on the curve is…
