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
- 3
- 6
- 9
- -2
Hint:
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:
Subnormal is the projection of normal on y-axis. The formula of length of subnormal is as follows;
Equating the values of subnormal and subtangent with their given values.
.
So, the value of ordinate is 3.
For such questions, we should know the formula to find subtangent and subnormal.
