Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola y = 5x^2
, the tangent line to this parabola at (3, 45) and the x-axis.
Area = ?
Accepted Solution
A:
Slope of tangent= 10x so at (3,45) it would be = 30
Equation of tangent is
y-3=30(x-45)
y=30x-45
it cut the parabola at exactly one point.
So the required area = 1/2*(45/30)*45= 45*3/4 = 135/4 =33.75
