A man plans to jump and climb the stairs. The path (as shown in the figure) he moves for the first jump is given by y=y(x)=x+2x−3x2y = y(x) = x + \sqrt{2x - 3x^2} where 'x' (in meters) is the horizontal distance moved and 'y' (in meters) is the corresponding height. Assuming that his initial point is at origin.

The value of dydx\frac{dy}{dx} when x=16x = \frac{1}{6}, is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

dydx=1+1−3x2x−3x2\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \frac{1 - 3x}{\sqrt{2x - 3x^2}}.

At x=16x = \frac{1}{6}: 2x−3x2=13−112=142x - 3x^2 = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4}, so 2x−3x2=12\sqrt{2x - 3x^2} = \frac{1}{2}.

1−3x=121 - 3x = \frac{1}{2}.

dydx=1+1/21/2=2\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \frac{1/2}{1/2} = 2.
