CBSEENMA12036150

The shortest distance between the line y – x = 1and the curve x = y2 is 

  • fraction numerator 3 square root of 2 over denominator 8 end fraction
  • fraction numerator 2 square root of 3 over denominator 8 end fraction
  • fraction numerator 3 square root of 2 over denominator 5 end fraction
  • fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction

Solution

A.

fraction numerator 3 square root of 2 over denominator 8 end fraction 1 space equals space 2 straight y dy over dx
dy over dx space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 straight y end fraction space equals 1
rightwards double arrow space straight y space equals space 1 half
rightwards double arrow space straight x space equals 1 fourth
shortest space distance space equals space open vertical bar fraction numerator begin display style 1 half minus 1 half minus 1 end style over denominator square root of 2 end fraction close vertical bar space equals space fraction numerator 3 over denominator 4 square root of 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 3 square root of 2 over denominator 8 end fraction
