    The point where the tangent to the curve \[y={{e}^{2x}}\]at (0,1) meets\[x-\]axis, is

    A)  (1, 0)            

    B)  \[(-1,0)\]

    C)  \[\left( -\frac{1}{2},0 \right)\]       

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Curve \[y={{e}^{2x}}\] Gradient\[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{(0,1)}}={{(2{{e}^{2x}})}_{(0,1)}}=2{{e}^{0}}=2\] \[\therefore \]Equation of tangent at the point (0, 1) \[y-1=2(x-0)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y-1=2x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=2x+1\] Since, tangents meets at\[x-\]axis. So, putting\[y=0,\] \[2x+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=-\frac{1}{2}\]
