Detailed Solution

Equation of tangent at P(x, y)
Y  y = f' (x) (X  x)

so A=xy1f(x),0 and B=0,yxf(x)

3:1=BP:AP=x2+x2f(x)2:y2/f(x)2+y291=x21+f(x)2y21+f(x)2f(x)2=x2f(x)2y29y2x2=f(x)23yx=±dydx

x3y= Const or x3y=C

Since f(1)=1, so Const =1

Thus the curve is either x3=y or x3y=1

The last curve passes through (2, 1/8)
