Total: 50
The equation of the normal to the curve a y 2 = x 3 at the point ( a m 2 , a m 3 ) is
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
Given equation of curve is
a 2 = x 3
Differentiating w.r.t.x , we get
2ay
= 3 x 2
⇒
=
Slope of the tangent to the curve at( am 2 , am 3 ) is
(
) ( a m 2 , a m 3 ) =
=
=
Slope of normal at( am 2 , am 3 )
=
=
Equation of the normal at( am 2 , am 3 ) is
y − a m 3 =
( x − a m 2 )
⇒ 3 m y − 3 a m 4 = − 2 x + 2 a m 2
⇒ 2 x + 3 m y − a m 2 ( 2 + 3 m 2 ) = 0
Differentiating w.r.t.
