A curve has an equation of . The curve has a stationary point at P.
(i)Find,in terms of e, the coordinates of P and determine the nature of this stationary point.
y' =
e^x = 0 (Ignore)
x = -1 is a local minimum
y = 1/e
(-1,1/e) is a local minimum
===============================
The normal to the curve at the point Q (1,e) meets the x-axis at R and the y-axis at S.
(ii)Find in terms of e, the area of the triangle ORS, where O is the origin.
y' =
y'(1) = 2e
m of the normal = -1/(2e)
y - e = (-1/2e)*(x - 1) = -x/(2e) + 1/(2e)
--> S((2e^2 + 1)/(2e),0)
--------------
x = 2e^2 + 1 --> R(2e^2 + 1,0)
--------------
Area = bh/2
