hope it helps plz mark me as BRILLIANT ❤️....
Answer:
GIVEN:- y = (3x - 2)^½-------( 1 l which is parallel to line 4x - 2y + 5 = 0---------( 2 )
from------( 2 )
2y = 4x + 5
y = 2x + 5/2
hence, Equation is in the form of y = mx + c
so, slope (m) = 2
now, 2y*dy/dx = (3)
dy/dx = 3/2√(3x - 2)
slope of tangent at point (p,k) = slope of line 4x - 2y + 5 = 0
given the Equation of line of tangent are parallel
so, dy/dx = 2
3/2√(3p - 2) = 2
[on squaring both side]
9/16 = 3p - 2
3p = 41/16
p = 51/48
p = 41/48
now, y = (3x - 2)^½
since, (p,k) is on the curve,
putting x = p , y = k
k = (3*41/48 - 2)^½
k² = (41 - 32)/16
k² = 9/16
k = 3/4
HENCE, the points are (41/48 , 3/4)
we know the Equation of line at (x1 , y1) having slope of m.
now, the Equation of tangent is;
y - 3/4 = dy/dx(x - 41/48)
(4y - 3)/4 = 2(48x - 41)/48
24y - 18 = 48x - 41
hence, the required equation of line is
48x - 24y = -23.
