Question 20 Find the equation of the normal at the point (šš^2,šš^3) for the curve šš¦^2=š„^3We know that Slope of tangent is šš¦/šš„ Given šš¦^2=š„^3 Differentiating w.r.t.š„ š(šš¦^2 )/šš„=š(š„^3 )/šš„ š š(š¦^2 )/šš„=š(š„^3 )/šš„ š . š(š¦^2 )/šš„Ć šš¦/šš¦=3š„^2 š .2š¦ Ćšš¦/šš„=3š„^2 šš¦/šš„=(3š„^2)/2šš¦ Slope of tangent at (šš^2,šš^3 ) is ćšš¦/šš„āć_((šš^2,šš^3 ) )=(3(šš^2 )^2)/2š(šš^3 ) =(3š^2 š^4)/(2š^2 š^3 )=3/2 š We know that Slope of tangent Ć Slope of Normal =ā1 3š/2 Ć Slope of Normal =ā1 Slope of Normal =(ā1)/(3š/2) Slope of Normal =(ā2)/3š Finding equation of normal Equation of Normal at (šš^2, šš^3 ) & having Slope (ā2)/3š is (š¦āšš^3 )=(ā2)/3š (š„āšš^2 ) 3š(š¦āšš^3 )=ā2(š„āšš^2 ) 3šš¦ā3 šš^4=ā2š„+2šš^2 2š„+3šš¦ā3šš^4ā2šš^2=0 2š„+3šš¦āšš^2 (3š^2+2)=0 We know that Equation of line at (š„1 , š¦1)& having Slope m is š¦āš¦1=š(š„āš„1) Required Equation of Normal is : šš+šššāšš^š (šš^š+š)=š
