Find the equation of the normal to th...

Find the equation of the normal to the curve `x^2=4\ y` which passes through the point (1, 2).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `x^2=4y`
slope of the tangent to the curve will be `4(dy)/dx=2x`
=>`(dy)/dx=x/2`
so slope of normal will be `-(dy)/dx=-2/x`
