Question

lf d is the minimum distance between the curves fx=exandgx=logex, then the value of a6 is_____

Moderate
Solution

Since the graphs y=ex and y = log x are symmetrical about the line y = x, minimum distance is the distance along the common normal to both the curves, i.e., y = x must be parallel to the tangent as both the curves are inverse of each other.
