Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 21

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of tangent: \(y = mx + \frac{11}{4m}\) Substitute \((1,4)\): \(4 = m + \frac{11}{4m}\) \(4m^2 - 16m + 11 = 0\) \(m_1+m_2 = -\frac{-16}{4} = 4\) \(m_1m_2 = \frac{11}{4}\) \(2(m_1^2+m_2^2) = 2((m_1+m_2)^2 - 2m_1m_2)\) \(= 2((4)^2 - 2(\frac{11}{4}))\)…
