If x+y=k is normal to y²=12 x , then k is
Options
- A3
- B9
- C-9
- D-3
Correct answer
B. 9
Step-by-step solution
Let x+y=k be normal to y²=12 x at P( , ) ²=12 Also, slope of normal at P( , ) is -1 Form, Eq.(i), aligned d y d x &= 6 y ( d y d x )_ P &= 6 aligned -1= -1 6 / =6, =3 P is (3,6) which lies on x+y=k 3+6=k k=9
