The sum of the intercepts made by a tangent drawn to the curve \(\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^n+\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^n=2\) at \((a, b)\) on the coordinate axes is

  1. A \(a+b\)
  2. B \(a^2+b^2\)
  3. C \(2(a-b)\)
  4. D \(2(a+b)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2(a+b)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Curve it :- \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{a}}\right)^{\mathrm{n}}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{b}}\right)^{\mathrm{n}}=2\) Let we assume that \(\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=2\) \(\therefore\) Eqn of curve is :-…
