Question

If the tangent line at a point (x, y) on the curve y = f(x) is parallel to x-axis, then write the value of \[\frac{dy}{dx}\] ?

Answer 1

The slope of the x-axis is 0.
Also, the tangent at a point (x, y) on the curve y = f(x) is parallel to the x-axis.
∴ Slope of the tangent

\[\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)\] = Slope of the x-axis = 0.
