Question:

The equation of the tangent to the curve \(y=x^3\) at \((1,1)\) is

Show Hint

For tangent equation, first find slope using derivative and then use \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\).
  • \(3x-y+2=0\)
  • \(x-10y-50=0\)
  • \(3x-y-2=0\)
  • \(x-10y+50=0\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Given curve: \[ y=x^3 \]

Step 2:
Differentiate: \[ \frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2 \]

Step 3:
At \(x=1\): \[ m=3(1)^2=3 \]

Step 4:
Equation of tangent: \[ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \] \[ y-1=3(x-1) \] \[ y-1=3x-3 \] \[ 3x-y-2=0 \] \[ \boxed{3x-y-2=0} \]
