Question 13 Find the equation of the normal to the curve x2 = 4y which passes through the point (1, 2).Given Curve x2 = 4y Differentiating w.r.t. x 2x = 4š‘‘š‘¦/š‘‘š‘„ š‘‘š‘¦/š‘‘š‘„ = š‘„/2 ∓ Slope of normal = (āˆ’1)/(š‘‘š‘¦/š‘‘š‘„) = (āˆ’1)/((š‘„/2) ) = (āˆ’šŸ)/š’™ Let (h, k) be the point where normal & curve intersect We need to find equation of the normal to the curve x2 = 4y which passes through the point (1, 2). But to find equation… we need to find point on curve Let (h, k) be the point where normal & curve intersect ∓ Slope of normal at (h, k) = (āˆ’šŸ)/š’‰ Equation of normal passing through (h, k) with slope (āˆ’2)/ā„Ž is y – y1 = m(x – x1) y āˆ’ k = (āˆ’šŸ)/š’‰ (x āˆ’ h) Since normal passes through (1, 2), it will satisfy its equation 2 āˆ’ k = (āˆ’2)/ā„Ž (1 āˆ’ h) k = 2 + šŸ/š’‰ (1 āˆ’ h) Also, (h, k) lies on curve x2 = 4y h2 = 4k k = š’‰^šŸ/šŸ’ From (1) and (2) 2 + 2/ā„Ž (1 āˆ’ h) = ā„Ž^2/4 2 + 2/ā„Ž āˆ’ 2 = ā„Ž^2/4 2/ā„Ž = ā„Ž^2/4 ā„Ž^3 = 8 h = ("8" )^(1/3) h = 2 Putting h = 2 in (2) k = ā„Ž^2/4 = 怖(2)怗^2/4 = 4/4 = 1 Hence, h = 2 & k = 1 Putting h = 2 & k = 1 in equation of normal š‘¦āˆ’š‘˜=(āˆ’2(š‘„ āˆ’ ā„Ž))/ā„Ž š‘¦āˆ’1=(āˆ’2(š‘„ āˆ’ 2))/2 š‘¦āˆ’1=āˆ’1(š‘„āˆ’2) š‘¦āˆ’1=āˆ’š‘„+2 š‘„+š‘¦=2+1 š’™+š’š=šŸ‘
