Let quadratic curve passing through the point \((-1,0)\) and touching the line \(y=x\) at \((1,1)\) be \(y=\) \(f(x)\). Then the \(x\)-intercept of the normal to the curve at the point \((\alpha, \alpha+1)\) in the first quadrant is \(..........\).

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(11\)
  4. D \(13\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=(x+1)(a x+b)\) \(1=2 a+2 b \quad(1)\) \(f(x)=(a x+b)+a(x+1)\) \(1=(3 a+b) \quad(2)\) \(\Rightarrow b=1 / 4, a=1 / 4\) \(f(x)=\frac{(x+1)^2}{4}\) \(f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \quad \alpha+1=\frac{(\alpha+1)^2}{4}, \alpha > -1\) \(\alpha+1=4\) \(\alpha=3\) normal…
