The equation of the normal to the curve $y=4x^3+2sin x $ at (0, 3) is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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 $2y-6=-x⇒x+2y=6$
