The equation of the normal to the curve $y=(1+x)^y+\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin ^2 x\right)$ at x = 0, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
We have,
$y=(1+x)^y+\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin ^2 x\right)$ ......(i)
When x = 0, we have y = 1
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. x, we get
$\frac{d y}{d x}=(1+x)^y\left\{\frac{d y}{d x} \log (1+x)+\frac{y}{1+x}\right\}+\frac{\sin 2 x}{\sqrt{1-\sin ^4 x}}$
$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(0,1)}=1$
So, the equation of the normal at (0, 1) is
$y-1=-1(x-0) \Rightarrow x+y=1$
