The equation of the normal to the curve y^4=a x^3 at (a, a) is
Options
- Ax+2 y=3 a
- B3 x-4 y+a=0
- C4 x+3 y=7 a
- D4 x-3 y=0
Correct answer
C. 4 x+3 y=7 a
Step-by-step solution
Given curve is y^4=a x^3 On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get aligned & 4 y^3 d y d x =3 a x^2 & ( d y d x )_ (a, a) = 3 a^3 4 a^3 = 3 4 & aligned Equation of normal at point (a, a) is array cc & y-a=- 4 3 (x-a) & 4 x+3 y=7 a array
