Under what condition is the tangent to a given curve at a given curve at a point perpendicular to x axis?

A

`(dy)/(dx)=0`

B

`(dy)/(dx)=1`

C

`(dx)/(dy)=0`

D

`(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))=1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Tangent to given curve at a point is perpendicualr to x axis gives `(dy)/(dx) = tan(pi)/(2)`
`rarr (dx)/(dy)= cot(pi)/(2)=0`
