Q. 249. Find the equation of the normal to the curydxdy=1.84e0.5x at x=1dx0.5xd(1)dy=3.08
Find Tangent Slope: First, we need to find the slope of the tangent to the curve at x=1 using the given derivative.
Calculate Tangent Slope: Substitute x=1 into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent.(dxdy)=1.84e(0.5×1)(dxdy)=1.84e(0.5)
Calculate Exact Slope: Now, calculate the exact value of the slope at x=1.(dxdy)=1.84×e0.5
Find Normal Slope: The slope of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent. Slope of normal = −1/(1.84∗e0.5)
Find Equation of Normal: To find the equation of the normal, we need a point on the curve at x=1. We don't have the original equation of the curve, so we can't find the y-coordinate of the point. We need the y-coordinate to proceed.
