<u>Answer:</u>

A curve is given by y=(x-a)√(x-b) for x≥b. The gradient of the curve at A is 1.

<u>Solution:</u>

We need to show that the gradient of the curve at A is 1

Here given that ,

y=(x-a) \sqrt{(x-b)}  --- equation 1

Also, according to question at point A (b+1,0)

So curve at point A will, put the value of x and y

0=(b+1-a) \sqrt{(b+1-b)}

0=b+1-c --- equation 2

According to multiple rule of Differentiation,

y^{\prime}=u^{\prime} y+y^{\prime} u

so, we get

{u}^{\prime}=1

v^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(x-b)}

y^{\prime}=1 \times \sqrt{(x-b)}+(x-a) \times \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(x-b)}

By putting value of point A and putting value of eq 2 we get

y^{\prime}=\sqrt{(b+1-b)}+(b+1-a) \times \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(b+1-b)}

y^{\prime}=\frac{d y}{d x}=1

Hence proved that the gradient of the curve at A is 1.

What are the angles of a triangle
Talja [164]
The angles inside a triangle are called interior angles. The diagram below shows the interior and exterior angles of a triangle. The three interior angles in a triangle will always add up to 180°. At each corner the exterior and interior angles are on a straight line, so at each corner these two angles add up to 180°.
