The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation of the curve \( y = f(x) \) that passes through the point (0,0) and has the property that the segment of the tangent drawn at any point \( P(x, f(x)) \) and the line \( y = 3 \) is bisected by the line \( x + y = 1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Equation of the Tangent Line**: The equation of the tangent line at the point \( P(x, f(x)) \) is given by: \[ y - f(x) = f'(x)(x - x) \] This can be rearranged to: \[ y = f'(x)(x - x) + f(x) \] 2. **Finding Intersection with \( y = 3 \)**: The tangent line intersects the line \( y = 3 \). Setting \( y = 3 \) in the tangent equation: \[ 3 = f'(x)(x - x) + f(x) \] This simplifies to: \[ 3 = f(x) + f'(x)(x - x) \] 3. **Midpoint of Segment**: Let \( T \) be the point where the tangent intersects \( y = 3 \). The coordinates of \( T \) are \( (x_T, 3) \). The midpoint \( Q(h, k) \) of the segment \( PT \) (where \( P = (x, f(x)) \) and \( T = (x_T, 3) \)) is given by: \[ h = \frac{x + x_T}{2}, \quad k = \frac{f(x) + 3}{2} \] 4. **Condition for Bisection**: Since the line \( x + y = 1 \) bisects the segment, we have: \[ h + k = 1 \] Substituting for \( h \) and \( k \): \[ \frac{x + x_T}{2} + \frac{f(x) + 3}{2} = 1 \] Multiplying through by 2: \[ x + x_T + f(x) + 3 = 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x + x_T + f(x) = -1 \] 5. **Finding \( x_T \)**: From the tangent line equation, we know: \[ y = f'(x)(x - x) + f(x) = 3 \] This implies: \[ x_T = x + \frac{3 - f(x)}{f'(x)} \] 6. **Substituting \( x_T \)**: Substitute \( x_T \) back into the bisection condition: \[ x + \left(x + \frac{3 - f(x)}{f'(x)}\right) + f(x) = -1 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2x + \frac{3 - f(x)}{f'(x)} + f(x) = -1 \] 7. **Differential Equation**: Rearranging leads to a differential equation involving \( f(x) \) and its derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{f(x) - 3}{2x + f(x) + 1} \] 8. **Solving the Differential Equation**: This can be solved using separation of variables or integrating factors. The solution will yield the function \( f(x) \). 9. **Applying Initial Condition**: Since the curve passes through (0,0), we can use this condition to find the constant of integration. 10. **Final Equation**: After solving, we arrive at the final equation of the curve. ### Final Result: The equation of the curve \( y = f(x) \) is: \[ (y - 3)^2 = -9(x + y - 1) \]
