The equation of the normal to the curve $y=\frac{x-7}{(x-2)(x-3)}$at (7, 0) |
$20x-y+140=0$ $x+y + 140=0$ $x-20y-7=0$ $20x+y-140=0$ |
$20x+y-140=0$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $20x+y-140=0$ $y=\frac{x-7}{(x-2)(x-3)}=\frac{x-7}{(x^2-5x+6)}$ $y'=\frac{1}{x^2-5x+6}-\frac{(x-7)(2x-5)}{(x-2)^2(x-3)^2}$ $y']_{x=7}=\frac{1}{(7-2)(7-3)}-0=\frac{1}{4×5}$ so slope of normal = -20 eq. of normal: $y=-20(x-7)$ $20x+y=140$ $20x+y-140=0$ |
