Question

The length of the subtangent at any point on y = f(x) is 3/8 and the length of the subnormal is 24 then the ordinate of the point is

  1. 3    
  2. 6    
  3. 9    
  4. -2    

hintHint:

We are given the length of subtangent and subnormal. We have to find the length of ordinate. Ordinate is the distance of point from x-axis. It is a y coordinate.

The correct answer is: 3


    The given values of subtangent = 3/8 and subnormal is 24.
    ubtangent is the projection of tangent on x-axis. The formula of length of subtangent is as follows:
    s u b tan g e n t space equals fraction numerator y over denominator begin display style fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction end style end fraction
    Subnormal is the projection of normal on y-axis. The formula of length of subnormal is as follows;
    s u b n o r m a l space equals y fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction
    Equating the values of subnormal and subtangent with their given values.
    s u b tan g e n t
fraction numerator y over denominator begin display style fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction end style end fraction equals 3 over 8
fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction equals 8 over 3 y
s u b n o r m a l
y fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction space equals 24
fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction equals 24 over y

.
    c o m p a r i n g space t h e space v a l u e s space w e space c a n space w r i t e
8 over 3 y space equals space 24 over y
M u l t i p l y i n g space b o t h space t h e space s i d e s space b y space y space a n d space 3 over 8
y squared space equals 24 cross times 3 over 8
y squared space equals space 9
T a k i n g space s q u a r e space r o o t
y space equals space 3
    So, the value of ordinate is 3.

    For such questions, we should know the formula to find subtangent and subnormal.
