Question
The equation of a curve is \(y=2\sqrt{3x+4}-x\)
(a) Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point (4, 4), giving your answer in the form
y = mx + c. [5]
(b) Find the coordinates of the stationary point. [3]
(c) Determine the nature of the stationary point. [2]
(d) Find the exact area of the region bounded by the curve, the x-axis and the lines x = 0 and x = 4. [4]
Answer/Explanation
Ans
11 (a) \(\frac{dx}{dy}=3(3x+4)^{-0.5}-1\)
Gradient of tangent \(=-\frac{1}{4}\) and Gradient of normal = 4
Equation of line is (y – 4) = 4(x – 4) or evaluate c
So y = 4x – 12
11 (b) 3(3x+4)-0.5 -1 = 0
Solving as far as x=
\(x=\frac{5}{3}, y=2\left ( 3\times \frac{5}{3}+4 \right )^{0.5}-\frac{5}{3}=\frac{13}{3}\)
At \(x=\frac{5}{3} \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\) is negative so the point is a maximum
11 (d) \(Area-[f2(3x+4)^{0.5}-xdx=]\frac{4}{9}(3x+4)^{1.5}-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}\)
\(\left ( \frac{4}{9}(16)^{1.5}-\frac{1}{2}(4)^{2} \right )-\frac{4}{9}(4)^{1.5}=\frac{256}{9}-8-\frac{32}{9}\)
\(16\frac{8}{9}\)
