Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A, D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(D^2 = (x-5)^2 + y^2\) \(x = \frac{y^2}{2}\) \(D^2(y) = \left(\frac{y^2}{2}-5\right)^2 + y^2\) \(\frac{d(D^2)}{dy} = 2\left(\frac{y^2}{2}-5\right)(y) + 2y = y(y^2-10)+2y = y^3-8y\) \(y^3-8y = 0 \Rightarrow y(y^2-8)=0 \Rightarrow y=0, y=\pm\sqrt{8} = \pm 2\sqrt{2}\) If \(y=0\),…
