The correct answer is: -12, -14

Given y=4x4+x

Differentiating the above equation,

dydx=16x3+1

The tangent at point (0, 0) has a slope =160+1=1

The tangent at point P(a,b) has a slope 16a3+1

 

m1m2=-1 when the lines with slope m1 and m2 are perpendicular to each other.

16a3+11=-1

a3=-18

a=-12

Point P(a, b) lies on curve b=4a4+a

b=-14

Hence, P-12,-14
