Question
Using Rolle's theorem, find points on the curve $\text{y}=16-\text{x}^2,\text{x}\in[-1,1],$ where tagent is parallel to x-axis.
✓

Answer

The equation of the curve is,
$\text{y}=16-\text{x}^2\ ....(1)$
Let P(x1, y1) be a point on it where the tangent is parallel to x-axis.
Then,
$\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_\text{p}=0\ ....(2)$
Differentiating (1) with respect to x, we get
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-2\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_\text{p}=-2\text{x}_1$
$\Rightarrow-2\text{x}_1=0$ (from(2))
$\Rightarrow\text{x}_1=0$
P(x1, y1) lies on the curve y = 16 - x2
$\therefore\text{y}_1=16-\text{x}_1^2$
When x1 = 0,
y1 = 16
Hence, (0, 16) is the required point.
