The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point on the curve \( y^2 = x^2(1 - x) \) at which the tangent drawn is perpendicular to the x-axis, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for the tangent to be perpendicular to the x-axis A tangent that is perpendicular to the x-axis means that its slope is undefined or infinite. This occurs when the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is infinite. ### Step 2: Differentiate the given curve We start with the equation of the curve: \[ y^2 = x^2(1 - x) \] To find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \), we will use implicit differentiation. Differentiating both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[x^2(1 - x)] \] Using the product rule on the right side: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[x^2(1 - x)] = 2x(1 - x) + x^2(-1) = 2x - 3x^2 \] Thus, we have: \[ 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 3x^2 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) Now, we can express \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x - 3x^2}{2y} \] ### Step 4: Set the derivative to be undefined For \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) to be infinite, the denominator must be zero: \[ 2y = 0 \implies y = 0 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( y = 0 \) back into the curve equation Now we substitute \( y = 0 \) back into the original curve equation to find the corresponding \( x \) values: \[ 0^2 = x^2(1 - x) \implies 0 = x^2(1 - x) \] This equation holds true if either \( x^2 = 0 \) or \( 1 - x = 0 \): 1. \( x^2 = 0 \) gives \( x = 0 \) 2. \( 1 - x = 0 \) gives \( x = 1 \) ### Step 6: Find the coordinates Thus, the points on the curve where the tangent is perpendicular to the x-axis are: 1. \( (0, 0) \) 2. \( (1, 0) \) ### Final Answer The coordinates of the points are \( (0, 0) \) and \( (1, 0) \). ---
