Q2. The slope of the tangent to the curve x = a sin t, y = a  at the point ‘t’ is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q3. Tangents to the curve  at the points (1, 1) and ( – 1, – 1) are
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q4. The line touches the curve at the point
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



Q5.

Tangents to the curve  at the points (1, 1) and ( – 1, 1)


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

 therefore , slope of tangent at (1,1) = - 1 and the slope of tangent at ( - 1 ,1 )= 1 .

Now product of the slopes=1.-1= -1

Hence , the two tangents  are at right angles.


Q6. Equation of the tangent to the curve  at the point (a, b) is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
