At what points on the curve y=x^2-4x+...

At what points on the curve `y=x^2-4x+5` is the tangent perpendicular to the line `2y+x=7` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Point is `(3,2)`

Let `(x_{1}, y_{1})` be required points
slope `=-1 / 2`
slope of line perpendicular `=2`
as `(x_{1}, y_{1})` lies on curve
$$ y_{1}=x_{1}^{2}-4 x_{1}+5 \cdots-(1) $$ `\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x_{1}-4=2` ...
