The distance between the origin and the normal to the curve y = e 2 x + x 2 drawn at x = 0 is_____ units
Options
- A2
- B2 3
- C2 5
- D1 2
Correct answer
C. 2 5
Step-by-step solution
Given curve is y = e 2 x   +   x 2 When x   =   0   ⇒   y   =   1 d y d x   =   2 e 2 x   +   2 x At 0 ,   1 d y d x   =   2 Slope of normal   =   - d x d y   =   - 1 2 Equation of normal is y   -   1   =   - 1 2   x - 0 2 y   -   2   =   - x x   +   2 y   - 2   =   0 Distance from origin to line is c a 2 + b 2 =   2 5
