Diffrentiating x29+y216=1. wrt. X we get,

2x9+2y16dydx=0

2ydy16dx=2x9

dydx=16x9y

(i) When the tangent is to x-axis, the slope of tangent is 0

ie, dydx=0

16x9y=0

x=0 putting this in the eqn of curve. We get,

029+y216=1

y2=16

y=±4.

The point at which the tangents are parallel to x-axis are (0,4)and (0,4)

(ii) When the tangent is parallel to y-axis, the slope of the normal is 0.

ie, 1dydx=0

dxdy=0

9y16x=0

y=0 , putting this in the eqn of curve we get,

x29+y216=1.

x2=9

x=±3

The point at which the tangents are parallel to y-axis are (3,0)and (3,0)

The given eqn of the curve is y=1x22x+3

Slope of tangent to the curve is dydx=1(x22x+3)=ddx(x22x+3)

=(2x12)(x22x+3)2

Given, dydx=0

(2x2)(x22x+3)2=0

2(x1)=0

x=1

When x=1,y=1122*1+3=112+3=12

The point of contact of the tangent to the curve is (1,12)

The eqn of the line is y12=0(x1)

y=12

The given eqn of curve is y=1x3

Slope of tangent to the curve is dydx=1 (x3)2.

Given,  dydx=2

1 (x3)2=2

(x3)2=12 which is not possible

we conclude that there is no possible tangent to the given curve with slope = 2.

The given eqn of curve is y=1x1

Slope of tangent to the given curve is dydx=1(x1)2

Given that, slope of tangent = 1.

1(x1)2=1.

(x1)2=1.

x1=±1

x=1±1.

ie, X=1+1 or x=11

x=2 or x=0

When x=2,y=121=1

and when x=0,y=101=1.

Hence, the point of contact of the tangents are (2,1)and(0,1)

The reqd. eqn of line are y1=(1)(x2){?yy0=m(xx0) eqn of line 

and y(1)=(1)(x0).

y1=x+2 and y+1=x

x+y3=0 and x+y+1=0.

The given eqn of the curve is y=x311x+5

slope of tangent to the curve dydx=3x211

Then eqn of tangent is y=x11 xy11=0 which gives us slope =11=1

So, 3x211=1

3x2=1+11=12

x2=4

x=±2

When x = 2, y=2311(2)+5=822+5=9.

And when x = 2, y=(2)311(2)+5=8+22+5=19.

The point (2,9) when put into y=x11. we get

9=211

9=9 which is true.

and the point (2,19) when put into y=x11 gives,

19=211

19=13 which is not true.

Hence, the required point is (2,9)

Let the point joining the chord be  (2, 0) (4, 4)

Then slope of the chord =4042 {? Slope=y2y1x2x1}

=42

= 2

The given eqn of the curve y= (x2)2 

slope of the tangent to the curve dydx=2 (x2).

Given that, the tangent is parallel to the chord PQ.

slope of tangent = slope of PQ.

2 (x2)=2.

x=1+2

x=3.

and y= (32)2=12=1.

The required point on curve is  (3, 1)

The given eqn of the curve is y=x33x29x+7.

slope of tangent to the given curve, dydx=3x26x9

when the tangent is parallel to x-axis dydx=0

3x26x9=0

x22x3=0

x2+x3x3=0

x(x+1)3(x+1)=0

(x+1)(x3)=0

 x = 3 or x = -1

When x = 3, y=333(3)29(3)+7=272727+7=20

And when x = -1 y=(1)33(1)29(1)+7=13+9+7=12

Hence, the required points are (3,20)(1,12)

The given eqn of the curves are

x=1asinθy=bcos2θ

so,  dxdθ=acosθdydθ=2bcosθsinθ

dydx=dy/dθdx/dθ=2bcosθsinθacosθ=2basinθ

Slope of tangent to curve at θ=π2 is dydx|θ=π2

=2basinπ2

=2ba

Hence, slope of normal to curve =12b/a=a2b

The Equation of the given curve are

x=acos3θy=asin3θ

So,  dxdθ=3acos2θ (sinθ)=3acos2θsinθ.

and dydθ=3asin2θcosθ

dydx=dy/dθdx/dθ=3asin2θcosθ3acos2θsinθ=tanθ

So,  dydx|x=π/4=tanπ4=1 which is the slope of the tanget to the curve.

Now, required slope of normal to the curve =1
