Question 14 Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the given curves at the indicated points: (i) ๐ฆ=๐ฅ4 โ6๐ฅ3+13๐ฅ2 โ10๐ฅ+5 ๐๐ก (0, 5) ๐ฆ=๐ฅ4 โ6๐ฅ3+13๐ฅ2 โ10๐ฅ+5 Differentiating w.r.t. ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ^3โ18๐ฅ^2+26๐ฅโ10 Now Point Given is (0 ,5) Hence ๐ฅ=0 , ๐ฆ=5 Putting ๐ฅ=0 in (1) Slope of tangent at (0 , 5) ใ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅโใ_((0, 5) )=4(0)^3โ18(0)^2+26(0)โ10 ใ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅโใ_((0, 5) )=0โ0+0โ10 ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=โ10 Hence, Slope of tangent =โ10 We know that Slope of tangent ร Slope of Normal =โ1 โ10 ร"Slope of Normal "=โ1 "Slope of Normal" =(โ1)/(โ10)=1/10 Hence Slope of tangent at (0, 5)=โ10 & Slope of Normal at (0, 5)=1/10 Finding equation of tangent & normal Now Equation of line at (๐ฅ1 , ๐ฆ1) & having Slope m is ๐ฆโ๐ฆ1=๐(๐ฅโ๐ฅ1) Equation of tangent at (0, 5) & Slope โ10 is (๐ฆโ5)=โ10(๐ฅโ0) ๐ฆโ5=โ10๐ฅ 10๐ฅ+๐ฆโ5=0 ๐๐๐+๐=๐ Equation of Normal at (0, 5) & Slope 1/10 is (๐ฆโ5)=1/10 (๐ฅโ0) ๐ฆโ5=1/10 ๐ฅ 10(๐ฆโ5)=๐ฅ 10๐ฆโ50=๐ฅ ๐โ๐๐๐+๐๐=๐
