The point on the curvey2=x where tangent makes an angle of45° with the X-axis is

a
(12,14)
b
(14,12)
c
(4,2)
d
(2,−2)

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let(α,β) be the required pointβ2=α and(dydx)(α,β)=tan45° (∵ y2=x,  ∴2ydydx=1) ⇒12β=1⇒β=12 Also, α=β2=(12)2=14 Hence, the required point is(14,12) .
