Question 31

A curve has the equation y=e2xy = e^{2x}y=e2x

a.

Find, in terms of aaa, the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point (a,e2a)(a, e^{2a})(a,e2a)

[3]
b.

Find the value of a a\,a for which this tangent passes through the origin.

[2]
c.

Hence, find the set of values of m m\,m for which the equation e2x=mxe^{2x} = mxe2x=mx has no real solutions.
