    The equation of the tangent to the curve\[x=\frac{t-1}{t+1},y\frac{t+1}{t-1}\]is\[t=2\]

    A)  \[x+9y-6=0\]                    

    B)  \[9x-y-6=0\]

    C)  \[9x+y+6=0\]    

    D)         \[x+9y+6=0\]

    E)  \[9x+y-6=0\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Curve, \[x=\frac{t-1}{t+1},y=\frac{t+1}{t-1}\] At\[t=2,\text{ }x=\frac{1}{3}\]and\[y=3\] Now,     \[\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{(t+1).1-(t-1).1}{{{(t+1)}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{{{(t+1)}^{2}}}\]                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(t-1).1-(t+1).1}{{{(t-1)}^{2}}}=\frac{-2}{{{(t-1)}^{2}}}\] Now,     \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dx}.\frac{dt}{dx}=\frac{-2}{{{(t-1)}^{2}}}.\frac{{{(t+1)}^{2}}}{2}\]                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-{{\left( \frac{t+1}{t-1} \right)}^{2}}\]                 \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{at(t=2)}}=-{{\left( \frac{3}{1} \right)}^{2}}=-9\] So, the equation of line is \[(y-3)=-9(x-1/3)\] \[(y-3)=-3(3x-1)\] \[y-3=-9x+3\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[9x+y-6=0\]
