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

Let \(S\) be the set of all the natural numbers, for which the line \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=2\) is a tangent to the curve \(\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^{ n }+\left(\frac{ y }{ b }\right)^{ n }=2\) at the point \(( a , b ), ab \neq 0\). Then

  1. A \(S =\phi\)
  2. B \(n(S)=1\)
  3. C \(S =\{2 k : k \in N \}\)
  4. D \(S = N\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(S = N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^{ n }+\left(\frac{ y }{ b }\right)^{ n }=2\) Slope of tangent at \((a, b)\) \(n.\;\left(\frac{ x }{ a }\right)^{ n -1} \cdot \frac{1}{ a }+ n \left(\frac{ x }{ b }\right)^{ n -1} \cdot \frac{1}{ b } \frac{ dy }{ dx }=0\)…
