Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let Pα,β be any point on the curve y2-2x3-4y+8=0 Now, 2ydydx-6x2-4dydx=0 ⇒  2y-4dydx-6x2=0 ⇒  dydx=6x22y-4 Thus, slope =m=dydxP=6α22β-4 Now, the equation of the tangent at P is y-β=6α22β-4x-α which is…
