Find the equations of the tangent and...

Find the equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve `y^2=4a x` at `(x_1,\ y_1)` at indicated points.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`y^{2}=4 a x`
Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, `2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=4 a`
`\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 a}{y}`
At `(x_{1}, y_{1})`
Slope of tangent =`(\frac{d y}{d x})_{(x_{1}, y_{1})}=\frac{2 a}{y_{1}}=m`
Equation of tangent is,
`y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})`
