At which points are the tangents drawn to the ellipse x 2 + y 2 = [ a ] x + [ a ] y parallel to

In-s [12.5K]

The given equation of the ellipse is x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

At tangent line, the point is horizontal with the x-axis therefore slope = dy / dx = 0

So we have to take the 1st derivative of the equation then equate dy / dx to zero.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

x^2 – 2 x = 2 y – y^2

(2x – 2) dx = (2 – 2y) dy

(2x – 2) / (2 – 2y) = 0

2x – 2 = 0

x = 1

To find for y, we go back to the original equation then substitute the value of x.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

1^2 + y^2 = 2 * 1 + 2 y

y^2 – 2y + 1 – 2 = 0

y^2 – 2y – 1 = 0

Finding the roots using the quadratic formula:

y = [-(- 2) ± sqrt ( (-2)^2 – 4*1*-1)] / 2*1

y = 1 ± 2.828

y = -1.828 , 3.828

Therefore the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at points (1, -1.828) and (1, 3.828).

The table below shows selected points from a function.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate Of Change Of Functions

Given a function y=f(x), the rate of change of f can be computed as the slope of the tangent line in a specific point (by using derivatives), or an approximation by computing the slope of a secant line between two points (a,b) (c,d) that belong to the function. The slope can be calculated with the formula

$\displaystyle m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

If this value is calculated with any pair of points and it always results in the same, then the function is linear. If they are different, the function is non-linear.

Let's take the first two points from the table (1,1)(2,4)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-1}{2-1}=3$
