  1. A 65,65
  2. B 65,625
  3. C 625,65
  4. D 625,625
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 625,65

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

y2=6x ⇒2ydydx=6 ⇒dydx=36x→slope of tangent Also, 5x-2y+k=0 ⇒y=52x+k2 Comparing with the standard form of line in slope intercept form, we get m=52→slope Therefore, 36x=52 ⇒32×3·x=52 ⇒3x=52 ⇒x=65 ⇒x=625…
