Let the function f(x) = 2x2 – logex, x> 0, be decreasing in (0, a) and increasing in (a, 4). A tangent to the parabola y2 = 4ax at a point P on it passes through the point (8a, 8a –1) but does not pass through the point (-1/a, 0). If the equation of the normal at P is
then α + β is equal to _______ .
Let the locus of the centre (\alpha , \beta ), \beta > 0, of the circle which touches the circle x2 +(y – 1)2 = 1 externally and also touches the x-axis be L. Then the area bounded by L and the line y = 4 is :
Let S be the set of all the natural numbers, for which the line
is a tangent to the curve
at the point (a, b), ab ≠ 0. Then :
Let the slope of the tangent to a curve y = f(x) at (x, y) be given by 2 tanx(cosx – y). If the curve passes through the point (π/4, 0) then the value of
