Options
- A- 17 4
- B4 17
- C- 4 17
- D17 4
Correct answer
C. - 4 17
Step-by-step solution
K e y I d e a F i r s t l y f i n d d y d x = d y l d t d x l d t , t h e n U s e s l o p e o f n o r m a l = - 1 d y d x We have, x = t and y = t - 1 t Now d x d t = 1 2 t , d y d t = 1 + 1 2 t - 3 2 ∴ d y d x = d y d t d x d t = 1 + 1 2 t 3 / 2 1 2 t = 2 t 1 + 1 2 t - 3 2 = 2 t 1 + 1 2 t 3 / 2 = 2 t 3 / 2 + 1 t A t t = 4 , d y d x = 2 4 3 / 2 + 1 4 = 17 4 ∴ Slope of normal at t = 4 , - 1 d y d x = - 4 17
