The equation of the normal to the curve $y=\frac{x-7}{(x-2)(x-3)}$at (7, 0)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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: $y=-20(x-7)$
$20x+y=140$
$20x+y-140=0$
