The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the conditions given for the curve \( y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx \). ### Step 1: Understand the conditions The curve is inclined at \( 45^\circ \) to the x-axis at the point \( (0, 0) \). This means that the slope of the curve at this point is \( 1 \) (since \( \tan(45^\circ) = 1 \)). ### Step 2: Find the derivative of the curve To find the slope of the curve, we differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the slope at \( (0, 0) \) Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the derivative: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{(0,0)} = 3a(0)^2 + 2b(0) + c = c \] Since the slope at \( (0, 0) \) is \( 1 \), we have: \[ c = 1 \] ### Step 4: Use the second condition (touching the x-axis at \( (1, 0) \)) The curve touches the x-axis at \( (1, 0) \). This means: 1. The point \( (1, 0) \) lies on the curve. 2. The slope of the curve at this point is \( 0 \). ### Step 5: Substitute \( (1, 0) \) into the curve equation Substituting \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 0 \) into the curve equation: \[ 0 = a(1)^3 + b(1)^2 + c(1) \] Substituting \( c = 1 \): \[ 0 = a + b + 1 \] This gives us the first equation: \[ a + b + 1 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 6: Find the slope at \( (1, 0) \) Now, we need to find the slope at \( x = 1 \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{(1,0)} = 3a(1)^2 + 2b(1) + c \] Substituting \( c = 1 \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{(1,0)} = 3a + 2b + 1 \] Since the slope at this point is \( 0 \): \[ 3a + 2b + 1 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 7: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( a + b + 1 = 0 \) 2. \( 3a + 2b + 1 = 0 \) From Equation 1, we can express \( b \) in terms of \( a \): \[ b = -1 - a \] Substituting \( b \) into Equation 2: \[ 3a + 2(-1 - a) + 1 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ 3a - 2 - 2a + 1 = 0 \] \[ a - 1 = 0 \implies a = 1 \] ### Step 8: Find \( b \) Now substituting \( a = 1 \) back into Equation 1: \[ 1 + b + 1 = 0 \implies b = -2 \] ### Step 9: Summary of values We have found: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = -2 \) - \( c = 1 \) ### Final Answer The values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are: \[ a = 1, \quad b = -2, \quad c = 1 \]
