Let \(\mathrm{n} \in(0, \infty)\). If all the curves \(\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}} \log \mathrm{x}\) for distinct values of \(n\), always have \(y=x-1\) as the tangent drawn at a fixed point \((\alpha, \beta)\), then \(\alpha+\beta=\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because y=x^n \log x\) for \(n=1, y=x \log x\) \[ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\log x+1 \] \(\because \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}-1\) is tangent line for curve (i) also. \(\therefore \log x+1=1\) \[ \Rightarrow \log \mathrm{x}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=1 \] Now,…
