The portion of the tangent to the curve \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+y^{\frac{2}{3}}=a^{\frac{2}{3}}, a > 0\) at any point of it, intercepted between the axes
- A varies as abscissa
- B varies as ordinate
- C is constant
- D varies as the product of abscissa and ordinate
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) is constant
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hint : for the given curve \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+y^{\frac{2}{3}}=a^{\frac{2}{3}}, a > 0\) Parametric Coordinates are \(x=a \cos ^3 \theta\) \(y=a \sin ^3 \theta\)…
