A particle moves along a curve \(y=\frac{2 x^3-1}{3}\). The points on the curve at which the \(y\) co-ordinate is changing 18 times the \(x\) co-ordinate are

  1. A \(\left(-3,-\frac{55}{3}\right),\left(3,-\frac{53}{3}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(-3, \frac{53}{3}\right),\left(3, \frac{55}{3}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(-3,-\frac{53}{3}\right),\left(3, \frac{55}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(-3,-\frac{55}{3}\right),\left(3, \frac{53}{3}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(-3,-\frac{55}{3}\right),\left(3, \frac{53}{3}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{2 x^3-1}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{3}(6x^2) = 2x^2\) \(2x^2 = 18 \Rightarrow x^2 = 9 \Rightarrow x = \pm 3\)
