Find the equation of the curve passing through (2,1) which has constant sub-tangent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We are given that
sub-tangent `=y/((dy)/(dx))=k` (constant)
or `k(dy)/(y)=dx`
Integrating we get, `klogy=x+c`
Given, that curve passes through (2,1) `rArr c=-2`
Hence, the equation of such curve is `klogy=x-2`
