Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=x^2+x+16\) \(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(x 1, y 1)}=2 x_1+1\) \(\therefore\) Slope of line \(is\frac{y_1-0}{d_1-0}=\frac{y_1}{x_1}\) \(\therefore 2 x_1+1=\frac{y_1}{x_1}\) \(\Rightarrow 2 x_1^2+x_1=y_1\) ...(i) Also, \(\left(x_1, y_1\right.\) satisfies the curve:…
