Find the co-ordinates of the point on curve `y=(x^2-1)/(x^2+1), (x>0)` where the gradient of the tangent to the curve is maximum.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, equaton of the curve,
`y = (x^2-1)/(x^2+1)`
`:. dy/dx = ((x^2+1)(2x)-(x^2-1)(2x))/(x^2+1)^2`
`=>dy/dx = (4x)/(x^2+1)^2`
We have to find a point, where slope is maximum.
`:. (d^2y)/dx^2` should be `0`.
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = ((x^2+1)^2 4-4x(2(x^2+1))(2x) )/(x^2+1)^4 `
`=>((x^2+1)^2 4-4x(2(x^2+1))(2x) )/(x^2+1)^4 =0`
