Correct answer: 20
- Equation of the tangent and its intercepts
At any point on the curve, the tangent is
Let . Then the tangent at is
Rewriting,
Its intercepts with the axes are:
- -intercept: put
- -intercept: put
So the area enclosed by this line and the coordinate axes is
- Use the given area condition
We are given that this area is always
Hence,
Multiply by :
Now expand the left side:
So,
The terms cancel, giving
Thus,
Since , the differential equation is
- Solve the differential equation
Rewrite as
This is a linear differential equation.
Its integrating factor is
Multiplying throughout by ,
The left side is
Integrate:
Hence,
- Use the initial condition
Given ,
Therefore,
- Find and then
Thus,
- Comparison with stored answer
The derived answer is , which matches the stored correct answer.
