Intermediate 1st Year Maths 1B Applications of Derivatives Solutions Exercise 10(c)

I.

Question 1.
Find the lengths of subtangent and sub-normal at a point of the curve
Solution:
Equation of the curve is y = b. sin \(\frac{x}{a}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = b. cos \(\frac{x}{a}.\frac{1}{a}=\frac{b}{a}\). cos \(\frac{x}{a}\)
Length of the sub-tangent = |\(\frac{y_{1}}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{1}\right)}\)|
= \(\frac{b \cdot \sin \frac{x}{a}}{\frac{b}{a} \cdot \cos \frac{x}{a}}=\left|a \cdot \tan \frac{x}{a}\right|\)
Length of the sub-normal = |y1, f'(x1)|

Question 2.
Show that the length of sub normal at any point on the curve xy = a2 varies as the cube of the ordinate of the point.
Solution:
Equation of the curve is xy = a²
y = \(\frac{a^{2}}{x}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-a^{2}}{x^{2}}\)
Length of the sub-normal = |y1, f’ (x1)|

Question 3.
Show that at any point (x, y) on the curve y = bex/a, the length of the sub¬tangent is a constant and the length of the sub normal is \(\frac{y^{2}}{a}\).
Solution:
Equation of the curve is y = b.ex/a
\(\frac{a^{2}}{x}\) = b.ex/a.\(\frac{1}{a}=\frac{y}{a}\)
Length of the sub tangent
= |\(\frac{y_{1}}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{1}\right)}\)| = \(\frac{y_{1}}{\left(\frac{y_{1}}{a}\right)}\) = a = constant
Length of the sub-normal
= |y1f'(x1)| = |y1\(\frac{y_{1}}{a}\)| = \(\frac{y_{1}^{2}}{a}\).

II.

Question 1.
Find the value of k so that the length of the sub normal at any point on the curve xyk = ak + 1 is a constant.
Solution:
Equation of the curve is x.yk = ak + 1
Differentiating w.r.to x
x.k.yk-1 \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + yk.1 = 0
x.k.yk-1 \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -yk
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-y^{k}}{k \cdot x \cdot y^{k-1}}=-\frac{y}{kx}\)
Length of the sub-normal = |y1f'(x1|
Inter 1st Year Maths 1B Applications of Derivatives Solutions Ex 10(c) 4
Length of the sub-normal is constant at any point on the curve is independent of x1 and y1
∴ \(\frac{y_{1}^{k+2}}{k \cdot a^{k+1}}\) is independent of x1, y1
⇒ k + 2 = 0 ⇒ k = -2

Question 2.
At any point t on the curve x = a (t + sin t), y = a (1 – cos t), find the lengths of tangent, normal, sub tangent and sub
normal.
Solution:
Equation of the curve is x = a (t + sin t), y = a (1 – cost)
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = a (1 + cos t), \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = a. sin t

Length of the tangent = |y1|\(\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{\left[f^{\prime}\left(x_{1}\right)\right]^{2}}}\)

Length of the normal = |y1|\(\sqrt{1+\left[f\left(x_{1}\right)\right]^{2}}\)
Inter 1st Year Maths 1B Applications of Derivatives Solutions Ex 10(c) 7
Length of the sub tangent.
Inter 1st Year Maths 1B Applications of Derivatives Solutions Ex 10(c) 8
= |a (2 sin t/2. cos t/2|
= |a. sin t|
Length of the sub normal
= |y1.f'(x1)| = |a(1 – cos t).\(\frac{\sin t / 2}{\cos t / 2}\)|
= |2a sin² t/2. tan t/2|
= |2a sin² t/2. tan t/2|

Question 3.
Find the lengths of normal and sub normal at a point on the curve y = \(\frac{a}{2}\) (ex/a + e-x/a).
Solution:
Equation of the curve is y = \(\frac{a}{2}\) (ex/a + e-x/a)
= a. cosh (\(\frac{x}{a}\))
Length of the normal = |y1|\(\sqrt{1+\left[f\left(x_{1}\right)\right]^{2}}\)
= |a.cosh \(\frac{x}{a}\)|\(\sqrt{1+\sinh ^{2} \frac{x}{a}}\)
= a. cosh \(\frac{x}{a}\). cosh \(\frac{x}{a}\) = a. cosh² \(\frac{x}{a}\)
Length of the sub normal = |y1 f'(x1)|

Question 4.
Find the lengths of subtangent, sub normal at a point t on the curve x = a (cos t + t sin t), y=a (sin t – t cos t)
Solution:
Equations of the curve are x = a (cos t + t sin t)
\(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = a (- sin t + sin t +1 cost) = at cos t
y = a (sin t – t cos t)
\(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = a (cos t – cos t +1 sin t) = a t sin t

= |a cot t (sin t – t cos t)|
Length of the sub-normal = |y1.f'(x1)|
