Question:

For a curve $\frac{(\text { Length of normal })^2}{(\text { Length of tangent })^2}$ is equal to

Options:

(subnormal) / (subtangent)

(subtangent) / (subnormal)

(tangent) / (normal)

constant

Correct Answer:

(subnormal) / (subtangent)

Explanation:

We have,

$\frac{(\text { Length of normal })^2}{(\text { Length of tangent })^2}=\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{(\text { Length of normal })^2}{(\text { Length of tangent })^2}=\frac{\text { Sub normal }}{\text { Sub tangent }}$
