If y = 4x – 5 is tangent to the curve y2 =px3 +q at (2, 3), then
First, let's find the slope of the curve at the point (2, 3). We can do this by taking the derivative of the curve equation with respect to x:
2yy' = 3px2
Substituting the coordinates of the point (2, 3), we get:
2(3)y' = 3p(22)
6y' = 12p
y' = 2p
Since the line y = 4x - 5 is tangent to the curve, the slope of the line at the point (2, 3) must be equal to the slope of the curve at that point. Therefore, we have:
2p = 4
Simplifying, we find:
p = 2
Now, let's substitute the value of p into the curve equation to find q:
y2 = px3 + q
(3)2 = (2)(23) + q
9 = 16 + q
q = -7
Therefore, the values of p and q that satisfy the given conditions are p = 2 and q = -7.
The correct option is (B) p = 2, q = -7.
