Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(y=x^2+3 x+4\) Now \(\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x+3\) At \((h, k)\) \(\left.\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(h, k)}=2 h+3\) So, equation of tangent at (h, k) \(y-k=(2 h+3)(x-h)\) It is passes through \((0,0)\) So \(-k=(2 h+3)(-h) \Rightarrow k=2 h^2+3 k...(i)\) and…
