The equation of the tangent at the vertex of the parabola x 2 +4x+2y = 0 is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The given equation can be written as (x + 2) 2 = –2(y – 2).
Shifting the origin at (–2, 2) this equation becomes X 2 = – 2Y,
where x = X – 2, y = Y +2.
The vertex of this parabola is at (–2, 2) and the tangent at the vertex is Y = 0 i.e. y = 2
