The points on the curve y^2=x+ x at which the normal is parallel to the Y-axis lie on
Options
- Aa line parallel to Y -axis
- Ba circle with centre at origin
- Ca parabola
- Da pair of lines bisecting the angle between the coordinate axes
Correct answer
C. a parabola
Step-by-step solution
The given curve is y^2=x+ x ...(i) d y d x = 1+ x 2 y Now, slope of the normal is m=- 1 ( d y d x ) =- 2 y 1+ x Normal is parallel to y -axis m= 1 0 aligned & - 2 y 1+ x = 1 0 1+ x=0 & x=-1 x= 1-(-1)^2 = 1-1 =0 aligned x=0 ...(ii) From eqns. (i) and (ii) : y^2=x+0 y^2=x which is a parabola.
