Question

The equation of tangent to the curve $y equals b e to the power of negative x divided by a end exponent$ at the point where it crosses $blank y minus$ axis, is

$a x + b y = 1$
$a x - b y = 1$
$\frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{b} = 1$
$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator blank x over denominator a end fraction plus fraction numerator y over denominator b end fraction equals 1$

Given equation of curve is $y equals b e to the power of negative x divided by a end exponent$
Since, the curve crosses $y$ -axis $i e comma blank x equals 0$

$rightwards double arrow blank y equals b e to the power of negative 0 end exponent blank rightwards double arrow blank y equals b$

On differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. $x$ , we get

$fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction e to the power of negative x divided by a end exponent$

At point $open parentheses 0 comma blank b close parentheses comma blank open parentheses fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction close parentheses subscript left parenthesis 0 comma blank b right parenthesis end subscript equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction e to the power of negative 0 divided by a end exponent equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction$

$therefore$ Required equation of tangent is

$y minus b equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction open parentheses x minus 0 close parentheses$

$rightwards double arrow blank fraction numerator y over denominator b end fraction minus 1 equals negative fraction numerator x over denominator a end fraction$

$rightwards double arrow blank fraction numerator x over denominator a end fraction plus fraction numerator y over denominator b end fraction equals 1$
