1. Find the equations of the tangents drawn to the curve y2 – 2x3 – 4y + 8 = 0 from the point (1, 2).
2. Find all the lines that pass through the point (1, 1) and are tangent to the curve represented parametrically
as x = 2t – t2 and y = t + t2.
3. A straight line is drawn through the origin and parallel to the tangent to a curve
a a 2 y2
x a 2 y2
= ln
a y at an arbitary point M. Show that the locus of the point P of intersection
of the straight line through the origin & the straight line parallel to the x-axis & passing through the point M
is x2 + y2 = a2.
