JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives

If the tangent of the curve, \(y=e^{x}\) at a point \(\left( c , e ^{ c }\right)\) and the normal to the parabola, \(y ^{2}=4 x\) at the point \((1,2)\) intersect at the same point on the \(x\)-axis, then the value of \(c\) is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=e^{x} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=e^{x}\) \(m =\left(\frac{ dy }{ dx }\right)_{\left( c , e ^{ e }\right)}= e ^{ c }\) \(\Rightarrow \quad\) Tangent at \(\left( c , e ^{ c }\right)\) \(y-e^{c}=e^{c}(x-c)\) it intersect x-axis Put \(\quad y =0 \Rightarrow x = c -1\)…
