The normal to the curve x=9(1+ ), y =9 at always passes through the fixed point
Options
- A(9,0)
- B(8,9)
- C(0,9)
- D(9,8)
Correct answer
A. (9,0)
Step-by-step solution
Fixed point analysis for the normal to the parametric curve The parametric curve is defined by x = 9(1 + ) and y = 9 . The slope of the tangent is dy dx = - , so the slope of the normal is . The equation of the normal becomes y - 9 = (x - 9(1 + )) . Multiplying through by and simplifying yields: (x - 9) - y = 0 . For this equation to hold for all , the coefficients of and must vanish: x - 9 = 0 and y = 0 . Thus, the fixed point is (9, 0) , corresponding to option A.
