Question 4
Appeared in Year: 2022
Describe in Detail Subjective▾
Trace the curve , where a is real constant (Paper 1)
EditExplanation
Symmetry: the curve is symmetrical about both the axes.
Origin does not lie on the curve
Points of intersection: put , we get
So, the curve passes through the points and
Asymptotes: the asymptotes parallel to th…

Question 6
Explanation
The curve is symmetrical about the x-axis
It does not pass through the origin
The curve meets the x-axis at the point and the y-axis at the point
… (28 more equations, 6 figures) …
Question 7
Appeared in Year: 2023
Describe in Detail Subjective▾
If the tangent to a curve makes a constant angle with a fixed line, then prove that the ratio of radius of torsion to radius of curvature is proportional to . Further prove that if this ratio is constant, then the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed direction. (Paper 1)
EditExplanation
We know that in calculus of space curve, we calculate the quantities curvature (k) and torsion both have inverse-length as units, so their reciprocals and have units of length, and are called radius of curvature and radius of torsion.
Let e, be the unit vector parallel to the g…
