If an equation of a tangent to the curve,

y-\cos (x+y),-1-1 \leq x \leq 1+\pi

, is

x+2 y=k

then

k

is equal to :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{\pi}{2}

Option D (

\frac{{\pi}}{{2}}

) is correct because it is the value of k obtained by finding the point on the curve where the tangent has the given slope and substituting it into the tangent equation.

-axis, then The curve

y-e^{x y}+x=0

has a vertical tangent at the point: If normal to the curve

y = f\left( x \right)

is parallel to
