Find the equation of tangents to the curve y= x3+2x-4, which are perpendicular to line x+14y+3 =0.

Solution

Taking the given equation,
y = x3+2x-4
Differentiating the above function with respect to x, we have,
dy over dx equals space 3 straight x squared plus 2
rightwards double arrow space straight m subscript 1 equals space 3 straight x squared plus 2
Given that the tangents to the given curve are perpendicular to the line x+ 14y + 3 = 0
Slope of this line, m2=-1/14
Since the given line and the tangents to the curve are perpendicular, we have,
m1 x m2 =-1
rightwards double arrow space left parenthesis 3 straight x squared plus 2 right parenthesis open parentheses fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 14 end fraction close parentheses space equals negative 1
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x squared space plus 2 space equals space 14
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x squared space equals space 12
rightwards double arrow space straight x squared space equals 4
rightwards double arrow space straight x space equals plus-or-minus 2
If space straight x equals 2 comma space straight y equals straight x cubed space plus 2 straight x minus 4
rightwards double arrow space straight y equals left parenthesis negative 2 right parenthesis cubed plus 2 straight x space left parenthesis negative 2 right parenthesis minus 4
rightwards double arrow straight y equals negative 16

Equation space of space the space tangent space having space slope space straight m space at space the space point space left parenthesis straight x subscript 1 comma straight y subscript 1 right parenthesis space is
left parenthesis straight y minus straight y subscript 1 right parenthesis space equals straight m left parenthesis straight x minus straight x subscript 1 right parenthesis

Equation space of space the space tangent space at space straight P space left parenthesis 2 comma 8 right parenthesis space with space slope space 14
left parenthesis straight y minus 8 right parenthesis equals 14 left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space straight y minus 8 space equals space 14 space straight x minus 28
rightwards double arrow 14 straight x minus straight y equals 20

Equation space of space the space tangent space at space straight P left parenthesis negative 2 comma negative 16 right parenthesis space with space slope space 14
left parenthesis straight y minus 8 right parenthesis equals 14 left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space straight y minus 8 space equals space 14 space straight x minus 28
rightwards double arrow 14 space straight x minus straight y space equals 20

Equation space of space the space tangent space at space straight P left parenthesis negative 2 comma negative 16 right parenthesis space with space slope space 1
left parenthesis straight y plus 16 right parenthesis equals 14 left parenthesis straight x plus 2 right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow straight y plus 16 space equals space 14 straight x plus 28
rightwards double arrow 14 space straight x minus straight y space equals space minus 12
thus equation of the tangent is 14 x- y =-12

 Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive :

(i) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3,....., 13, 14} defined as

R = {(x, y) : 3 x – y = 0}

(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x < 4} (iii) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(x,y) : y is divisible by x} (iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as R = {(x,y) : x – y is an integer}

(d)    R = {(x, y) : x is wife of y}
(e)    R = {(x,y) : x is father of y}

Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(a, b) : b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Show that the relation R in R defined as R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b}, is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Check whether the relation R in R defined by R = {(a,b) : a ≤ b3} is refleive, symmetric or transitive.

If R and R’ arc reflexive relations on a set then so are R ∪ R’ and R ∩ R’. 

If R and R’ are symmetric relations on a set A, then R ∩ R’ is also a sysmetric relation on A.
