Solution

The correct option is C (2,0)
solution - equation of curve is y=e2x
tangent to the curve is
dydx=2e2x
(dexdx=ex)
At points (0,1), the tangent is
(dydx)(0,1)=2e2(0)
(dydx)(0,1)=2e0 [e0=1]
dydx0,1=2
when the slope is 2, and solve the tangent
meets y axis the coordinate is 0,
Hence the tangent meets the x axis at (2,0)
