(c) \pm 3

(d) \pm 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (a)

Solution:

  1. Given, y=0x|t|dt

dydx=|x|10=|x| [by Leibnitz’s rule]

Tangent to the curve y=0x|t|dt,xR are parallel to the line y=2x

Slope of both are equal x=±2

Points, y=0±2|t|dt=±2

Equation of tangent is

y2=2(x2) and y+2=2(x+2)

For x intercept put y=0, we get

02=2(x2) and 0+2=2(x+2)

x=±1
