Question:

The equation of the normal to the curve $y=4x^3+2sin x $ at (0, 3) is :

Options:

$x-3y =3$

$x+2y =6$

$2x-y=-3$

$2x+y = 3$

Correct Answer:

$x+2y =6$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $x+2y =6$

$y=4x^3+2\sin x$  P(0, 3)

$\frac{dy}{dx}=12x^2+2\cos x$

Slope of normal is $-\frac{dx}{dy}$

$-\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{1}{12x^2+2\cos x}$

so $\left.-\frac{dx}{dy}\right]_{x=0}=-\frac{1}{2}$

eq. of normal → $y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-0)$

so $2y-6=-x⇒x+2y=6$
