Question 3(xvi)

Find the equation of the normal to curve y2 = 4x at the point (1, 2) and also find the tangent.Solution 3(xvi)

The equation of the given curve is y2 = 4x . Differentiating with respect to x, we have: 

begin mathsize 12px style 2 straight y dy over dx equals 4
rightwards double arrow dy over dx equals fraction numerator 4 over denominator 2 straight y end fraction equals 2 over straight y
therefore right enclose dy over dx end enclose subscript open parentheses 1 comma space 2 close parentheses end subscript equals 2 over 2 equals 1
Now comma space the space slope space at space point space left parenthesis 1 comma space 2 right parenthesis space is space 1 over right enclose begin display style dy over dx end style end enclose subscript open parentheses 1 comma space 2 close parentheses end subscript equals fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 1 end fraction equals negative 1.
therefore Equation space of space the space tangent space at space left parenthesis 1 comma space 2 right parenthesis space is space straight y minus 2 space equals space minus 1 left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis.
rightwards double arrow straight y minus 2 equals negative straight x plus 1
rightwards double arrow straight x plus straight y minus 3 equals 0
Equation space of space the space normal space is comma
straight y minus 2 equals negative left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis
straight y minus 2 equals straight x minus 1
straight x minus straight y plus 1 equals 0
end style

16 straight y minus fraction numerator 16 straight a over denominator 5 end fraction equals 13 straight x minus fraction numerator 26 straight a over denominator 5 end fraction
13 straight x minus 16 straight y minus 2 straight a equals 0
Equation space of space normal space is comma
open parentheses straight y minus straight a over 5 close parentheses equals 16 over 13 open parentheses straight x minus fraction numerator 2 straight a over denominator 5 end fraction close parentheses
13 straight y minus fraction numerator 13 straight a over denominator 5 end fraction equals negative 16 straight x plus fraction numerator 32 straight a over denominator 5 end fraction
16 straight x plus 13 straight y minus 9 straight a equals 0 end style

Question 20

At what points will tangents to the curve   be parallel to x-axis? Also, find the equations of the tangents to the curve at these points.Solution 20

Given equation curve is 

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get

As tangent is parallel to x-axis, its slope will be m = 0

As this point lies on the curve, we can find y

Or

So, the points are (3, 6) and (2, 7).

Equation of tangent at (3, 6) is

y – 6 = 0 (x – 3)

y – 6 = 0

Equation of tangent at (2, 7) is

y – 7 = 0 (x – 2)

y – 7 = 0
