Options:
  • A \( y=\sqrt{1+2 x}, \quad x \geq 0 \)
  • B \( \mathrm{y}=\sqrt{1+4 \mathrm{x}}, \quad \mathrm{x} \geq 0 \)
  • C \( \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{1+2 \mathrm{y}}, \quad \mathrm{y} \geq 0 \)
  • D \( \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{1+4 \mathrm{y}}, \quad \mathrm{y} \geq 0 \)

The correct answer is: \( y=\sqrt{1+2 x}, \quad x \geq 0 \)

Let I =dxx3+3x2+2x

Factorizing the denominator of the integral I, we get

 I=dxxx+1x+2 

 I=1x+1-1x+21xdx

 I=1xx+1dx-1xx+2dx

 I= 1x-1x+1dx-121x-1x+2dx

Using 1xdx=logx

 I=logx-logx+1-12logx+12logx+2+c

 I=12logx+logx+2-2logx+1+c

Using logmn=nlogm

 I=12logx+logx+2-logx+12+c

Using logm+logn=logmn & logm-logn=logmn

The required solution is I=12logx2+2xx+12+c.

 


Let the centre of one such circle be P(h,k) since it touches y-axis in the first quadrant
its radius =h
Now, since it touches x2+y2=1  externally
h+1=h2+k2
h2+2h+1=h2k2
k2=2h+1
Hence the required locus is
y2=2x+1
y= 1+2x,  x0
