Find the coordinates of the point on the curve $y = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}} - x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ where the gradient is $\frac{3}{4}$

65 Views Asked by At

According to the text book, the correct answer is $(4, \frac{2}{3})$

When I try to work it out, I get $x = \frac{9}{4}$

It would be tedious to put my attempt here and I'm sure this is simple for anyone who has experience with differentiation.

Thanks in advance!

If we compute $y'(x)$ from $y = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}} - x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ we get: $y'(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}} -\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}$.

We know that $y'(x) = \frac{3}{4}$, thus $\frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}} -\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{3}{4} \Leftrightarrow x=4$.

And $y(4)=\frac{2}{3}$, so the answer is indeed: $(4, \frac{2}{3})$.

Edit (answer):

$$\frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}} -\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{3}{4} \Leftrightarrow x=4$$.

Let $u = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$, then:

$$u -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{3}{2}$$ $$u^2 -\frac{3}{2}u -1 =0$$ $$(u-2)(u+\frac{1}{2})=0$$

Thus: $u=2\lor u=-\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=u^2=4$
