Find the required point be P(x1, y1)dot ...

Find the required point be `P(x_1, y_1)dot` The tangent to the curve `sqrt(x)+sqrt(y)=4` at which tangent is equally inclined to the axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The required points are `(4,4)`.

ATQ, $$ \begin{aligned} &\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=4 \\ &\Rightarrow x^{\frac{1}{2}}+y^{\frac{1}{2}}=4 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{y^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \\ &\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{1}{2} \cdot x^{-\frac{1}{2}} 2 \cdot y^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ &=-\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}} ...
