Question 22 Find the equation of the normal to the curve y = š‘„ + 1/š‘„, x > 0 perpendicular to the line 3š‘„ āˆ’ 4š‘¦ = 7 Finding Slope y = x + 1/š‘„ Differentiating both sides š‘‘š‘¦/š‘‘š‘„ = 1 āˆ’ 1/š‘„^2 Now, Slope of Normal = (āˆ’šŸ)/(šŸ āˆ’ šŸ/š’™^šŸ ) Given that Normal is perpendicular to 3x āˆ’ 4y = 7 So, Slope of Normal Ɨ Slope of Line = āˆ’1 (āˆ’1)/(1 āˆ’ 1/š‘„^2 ) Ɨ 3/4 = āˆ’1 3/4 = 1 āˆ’ 1/š‘„^2 1 āˆ’ 1/š‘„^2 = 3/4 1 āˆ’ 3/4 = 1/š‘„^2 1/4 = 1/š‘„^2 x2 = 4 x = ± 2 Since x > 0 ∓ x = 2 Finding y when x = 2 y = x + 1/š‘„ y = 2 + 1/2 y = šŸ“/šŸ Now, Slope of Normal is (āˆ’šŸ’)/šŸ‘ and it passes through point (2, šŸ“/šŸ) So, equation of Normal is (y āˆ’ y1) = m (x āˆ’ x1) y āˆ’ 5/2 = āˆ’ 4/3 (x āˆ’ 2) y āˆ’ 5/2 = āˆ’ 4/3x + 8/3 Multiplying both sides by 6 6y āˆ’ 6 Ɨ 5/2 = āˆ’6 Ɨ 4/3x + 6 Ɨ 8/3 6y āˆ’ 15 = āˆ’8x + 16 8x + 6y = 31
