The equation of normal at the point (1,1) on the curve $2y+x^3=3$ is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $3y - 2x=1$
The given curve is,
$2y+x^3=3$
Differentiating this w.r.t. 'x',
$⇒2\frac{dy}{dx}+3x^2=0$
$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3x^2}{2}$
Now, the slope of normal to the curve is,
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2}{3x^2}$
$\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(1,1)}=\frac{2}{3}$
Equation of the normal,
$y-y_1=m_{normal}(x-x_1)$
$y-1=\frac{2}{3}(x-1)$
