Question : 5 of 50
Marks: +1, -0
The points on the curve x29+y225=1\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1, where tangent is parallel to XX-axis are
Explanation: The equation of the given curve:
x29+y225=1\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. xx , we get
2x9+2y25dydx=1      (i)\frac{2x}{9} + \frac{2y}{25} \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 \;\;\; \cdot\cdot\cdot\cdot\cdot\cdot\cdot (i)
dydx=25x9y\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-25x}{9y}
Since, tangent is parallel to XX -axis, then the slope of the tangent is zero.
    259xy=0\therefore \;\; \frac{-25}{9} \frac{x}{y} = 0 , which is possible if x=0x=0
Put x=0x=0 in eq (i), we get
y225=1y2=25y=±5\frac{y^2}{25} = 1 \Rightarrow y^2 = 25 \Rightarrow y = \pm 5
Hence, required points are (0,±5)(0, \pm 5) .
