The normal at the point (1, 1) on the curve 2y = 3 - x2 is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
$2 y=3-x^2 \Rightarrow 2 \frac{d y}{d x}=-2 x \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-x$
⇒ slope of normal $=\frac{1}{x}$
∴ slope of normal at $(1,1)=\frac{1}{1}=1$
Equation of normal is $y-1=1(x-1) \Rightarrow x-y=0$
