If the curve passes through the point and the tangent line to this curve at origin is , then the possible values of are:
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
Given: passes through and has tangent at the origin.
At origin : .
The derivative is . At origin, (slope of tangent ).
Passing through : , so .
Therefore, .
At origin : .
