Question:

If the curve $y=a x^{2}+b x+c, x \in R,$ passes through the point (1,2) and the tangent line to this curve at origin is $y = x ,$ then the possible values of $a , b , c$ are :

Updated On: Feb 14, 2025
  • $a =\frac{1}{2}, b =\frac{1}{2}, c =1$
  • $a =1, b =0, c =1$
  • $a =1, b =1, c =0$
  • $a=-1, b=1, c=1$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$a+b+c=2$...(1) and $\left.\frac{ dy }{ dx }\right|_{(0,0)}=1$ $2 ax +\left. b \right|_{(0,0)}=1$ $b =1$ Curve passes through origin So, $c=0$ and $a=1$

Applications of Integrals

There are distinct applications of integrals, out of which some are as follows:

In Maths

Integrals are used to find:

  • The center of mass (centroid) of an area having curved sides
  • The area between two curves and the area under a curve
  • The curve's average value

In Physics

Integrals are used to find:

  • Centre of gravity
  • Mass and momentum of inertia of vehicles, satellites, and a tower
  • The center of mass
  • The velocity and the trajectory of a satellite at the time of placing it in orbit
  • Thrust
