The normal to a given curve at each point `(x ,y)` on the curve passes through the point `(3,0)dot` If the curve contains the point `(3,4),` find its equation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let P(x, y) be any point on the curve. The equation of the normal at P(x, y) to the given curve is given as `Y-y=-frac{1}{frac{d y}{d x}}(X-x)`
It is given that the curve passes through the point (3,0). Then,
` 0-y=-frac{1}{frac{d y}{d x}}(3-x) `
` Rightarrow-y=-frac{1}{frac{d y}{d x}}(3-x) `
` Rightarrow y frac{d y}{d x}=3-x `
` Rightarrow y d y=(3-x) d x `
` ...
