The correct Answer is:
To find the slopes of the tangent and the normal to the curve \( y = (\sin 2x + \cot x + 2)^2 \) at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the function We start by finding the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) using the chain rule. Given: \[ y = (\sin 2x + \cot x + 2)^2 \] Using the chain rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2(\sin 2x + \cot x + 2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin 2x + \cot x + 2) \] ### Step 2: Differentiate the inner function Now we differentiate the inner function \( \sin 2x + \cot x + 2 \). The derivatives are: - \( \frac{d}{dx}(\sin 2x) = 2\cos 2x \) - \( \frac{d}{dx}(\cot x) = -\csc^2 x \) - The derivative of the constant \( 2 \) is \( 0 \). Thus, \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\sin 2x + \cot x + 2) = 2\cos 2x - \csc^2 x \] ### Step 3: Substitute back into the derivative Substituting back, we have: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2(\sin 2x + \cot x + 2)(2\cos 2x - \csc^2 x) \] ### Step 4: Evaluate the derivative at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) Now we need to evaluate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). First, calculate \( \sin 2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \): \[ \sin(\pi) = 0 \] Next, calculate \( \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \): \[ \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] Thus, \[ \sin 2x + \cot x + 2 = 0 + 0 + 2 = 2 \] Now calculate \( \cos 2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \): \[ \cos(\pi) = -1 \] And calculate \( \csc^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \): \[ \csc\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1 \implies \csc^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1 \] Substituting these values into the derivative: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2(2)(2(-1) - 1) = 2(2)(-2 - 1) = 2(2)(-3) = -12 \] ### Step 5: Find the slope of the normal The slope of the normal \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1} = -\frac{1}{-12} = \frac{1}{12} \] ### Final Result - The slope of the tangent at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) is \( -12 \). - The slope of the normal at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) is \( \frac{1}{12} \).

To find the slopes of the tangent and the normal to the curve \( y = (\sin 2x + \cot x + 2)^2 \) at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the function We start by finding the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) using the chain rule.
