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

If the tangent to the conic, \(y - 6 = x^2\) at \((2, 10)\) touches the circle, \(x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 2y = k\) (for some fixed \(k\) ) at a point \((\alpha ,\,\beta );\) then \((\alpha ,\,\beta )\)  is

  1. A \(\left( { - \frac{7}{{17}},\frac{6}{{17}}} \right)\)
  2. B \(\left( { - \frac{4}{{17}},\frac{1}{{17}}} \right)\)
  3. C \(\left( { - \frac{6}{{17}},\frac{10}{{17}}} \right)\)
  4. D \(\left( { - \frac{8}{{17}},\frac{2}{{17}}} \right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left( { - \frac{8}{{17}},\frac{2}{{17}}} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({x^2}y + 6 = 0\) \(2x - \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2x\) \({\left. {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right|_{\left( {x,y} \right) = \left( {2,10} \right)}} = 4\) Equation of tangent \(y-10=4(x-z)\) \(4x-y+z=0\) tangent passes through…
