The point on the curve `y=12x-x^(2)` where the tangent is parallel to x-axis, is

A

(0, 0)

B

(2, 16)

C

(3, 9)

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let `(x_(1),y_(1))` be the required point on `y=12-x^(2)`
Then,
`((dy)/(dx))_((x_(1)","y_(1)))=0`
`rArr12-2x_(1)=0rArrx_(1)=6[ because y=12x-x^(2)rArr (dy)/(dx)=12-2x]`
Since `(x_(1),y_(1))` lies on `y=12x-x^(2)`
`therefore y_(1)=12x_(1)-x_(1)^(2) rArr y_(1)=72-36=36`
Hence, (6, 36) is the required point.
