Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of line joining the points \((0,3)\) and \((5,-2)\) is \(\frac{3+2}{0-5}=-1\) This is equal to the slope of tangent on the curve and that is given by \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-c}{(x+1)^2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=-1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad c=(x+1)^2\) ...(i)…
