The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the points on the curve \( y = \frac{x}{1 - x^2} \) where the tangent is inclined at an angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) to the x-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the slope of the tangent The slope \( m \) of the tangent line at an angle \( \theta \) with the x-axis is given by: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] For \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \): \[ m = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \] ### Step 2: Differentiate the curve We need to find the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) of the curve \( y = \frac{x}{1 - x^2} \). We will use the quotient rule for differentiation: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(1 - x^2)(1) - x(0 - 2x)}{(1 - x^2)^2} \] Simplifying this: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(1 - x^2) + 2x^2}{(1 - x^2)^2} = \frac{1 + x^2}{(1 - x^2)^2} \] ### Step 3: Set the derivative equal to the slope We set the derivative equal to the slope we found in Step 1: \[ \frac{1 + x^2}{(1 - x^2)^2} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply and simplify Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 + x^2 = (1 - x^2)^2 \] Expanding the right side: \[ 1 + x^2 = 1 - 2x^2 + x^4 \] Rearranging the equation: \[ x^4 - 3x^2 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor the equation Factoring out \( x^2 \): \[ x^2(x^2 - 3) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ x^2 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x^2 = 3 \] Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = 0, \quad x = \sqrt{3}, \quad x = -\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 6: Find corresponding \( y \) values Now we will find the corresponding \( y \) values for each \( x \): 1. For \( x = 0 \): \[ y = \frac{0}{1 - 0^2} = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (0, 0) \] 2. For \( x = \sqrt{3} \): \[ y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1 - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{-2} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \left(\sqrt{3}, -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] 3. For \( x = -\sqrt{3} \): \[ y = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{1 - 3} = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{-2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \left(-\sqrt{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] ### Final Points The points on the curve where the tangent is inclined at an angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) to the x-axis are: 1. \( (0, 0) \) 2. \( \left(\sqrt{3}, -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \) 3. \( \left(-\sqrt{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \)
