Application of Derivatives 4 Question 36

####38. A line L:y=mx+3 meets Y-axis at E(0,3) and the arc of the parabola y2=16x,0y6 at the point F(x0,y0). The tangent to the parabola at F(x0,y0) intersects the Y-axis at G(0,y1). The slope m of the line L is chosen such that the area of the EFG has a local maximum

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. (a)

Solution:

  1. Here, y2=16x,0y6

Tangent at F,yt=x+at2

At x=0,y=at=4t

Also, (4t2,8t) satisfy y=mx+c.

8t=4mt2+34mt28t+3=0 Area of Δ=12|03104t14t28t1|=124t2(34t)=2[3t24t3]dAdt=2[6t12t2]=12t(12t1)12+12

Maximum at t=12 and 4mt28t+3=0

m4+3=0m=1G(0,4t)G(0,2)y1=2x0,y0)=(4t2,8t)=(1,4)y0=4 Area =23412=12
