The length of the subtangent at any point \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\) on the curve \(y=5^x\) is

  1. A \(5^{x_1}\)
  2. B \(y_1 5^{x_1}\)
  3. C \(\log _e 5\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\log _e 5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{\log _e 5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(y=5^x\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & \frac{d y}{d x} & =5^x \log 5 \\ \Rightarrow & \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\left(x_1, y_1\right)} & =5^{x_1} \log 5 \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Length of subtangent…
