A curve passes through the point and satisfies the property that the slope of the tangent at any point is . What is the equation of the curve?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B.
- Step 1: The slope of the tangent is .
- Step 2: Separate variables: . Integrate both sides: .
- Step 3: Use the point to find : . The curve is .
Answer
.
Why not the others: corresponds to slope ; is a straight tangent line; corresponds to negative slope .
