The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the point A where the curve meets the y-axis. The curve is given by the equation: \[ 5 \alpha^2 x^3 + 10 \alpha x^2 + x + 2y - 4 = 0 \] At the y-axis, \( x = 0 \). Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation: \[ 5 \alpha^2 (0)^3 + 10 \alpha (0)^2 + (0) + 2y - 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2y - 4 = 0 \] Thus, \[ 2y = 4 \] \[ y = 2 \] So, the coordinates of point A are: \[ A(0, 2) \] ### Step 2: Find the slope of the tangent at point A. To find the slope of the tangent, we need to differentiate the curve with respect to \( x \). Starting with the equation: \[ 5 \alpha^2 x^3 + 10 \alpha x^2 + x + 2y - 4 = 0 \] Differentiating both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(5 \alpha^2 x^3) + \frac{d}{dx}(10 \alpha x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(x) + \frac{d}{dx}(2y) = 0 \] This gives: \[ 15 \alpha^2 x^2 + 20 \alpha x + 1 + 2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] Rearranging for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \[ 2 \frac{dy}{dx} = - (15 \alpha^2 x^2 + 20 \alpha x + 1) \] \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2} (15 \alpha^2 x^2 + 20 \alpha x + 1) \] Now substituting \( x = 0 \) to find the slope at point A: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{(0, 2)} = -\frac{1}{2} (15 \alpha^2 (0)^2 + 20 \alpha (0) + 1) = -\frac{1}{2} \] Thus, the slope of the tangent at point A is: \[ m_t = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Find the slope of the normal at point A. The slope of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent: \[ m_n = -\frac{1}{m_t} = -\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}} = 2 \] ### Step 4: Write the equation of the normal at point A. Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] Substituting \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 2) \) and \( m = 2 \): \[ y - 2 = 2(x - 0) \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 2x + 2 \] ### Step 5: Find the intersection of the normal with the curve again. We substitute \( y = 2x + 2 \) into the original curve equation: \[ 5 \alpha^2 x^3 + 10 \alpha x^2 + x + 2(2x + 2) - 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5 \alpha^2 x^3 + 10 \alpha x^2 + x + 4x + 4 - 4 = 0 \] \[ 5 \alpha^2 x^3 + 10 \alpha x^2 + 5x = 0 \] Factoring out \( 5x \): \[ 5x(\alpha^2 x^2 + 2\alpha x + 1) = 0 \] This gives us one solution \( x = 0 \) (point A). The other solution comes from: \[ \alpha^2 x^2 + 2\alpha x + 1 = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-2\alpha \pm \sqrt{(2\alpha)^2 - 4\alpha^2}}{2\alpha^2} = \frac{-2\alpha \pm 0}{2\alpha^2} = -\frac{1}{\alpha} \] ### Step 6: Find the coordinates of the point Q. Substituting \( x = -\frac{1}{\alpha} \) into \( y = 2x + 2 \): \[ y = 2\left(-\frac{1}{\alpha}\right) + 2 = -\frac{2}{\alpha} + 2 = 2 - \frac{2}{\alpha} \] Thus, the coordinates of point Q are: \[ Q\left(-\frac{1}{\alpha}, 2 - \frac{2}{\alpha}\right) \] ### Step 7: Find the slope of the tangent at point Q. Using the slope formula: \[ m_t = -\frac{1}{2}(15\alpha^2(-\frac{1}{\alpha})^2 + 20\alpha(-\frac{1}{\alpha}) + 1) \] This simplifies to: \[ m_t = -\frac{1}{2}(15 + (-20) + 1) = -\frac{1}{2}(-4) = 2 \] ### Step 8: Write the equation of the tangent at point Q. Using the point-slope form: \[ y - \left(2 - \frac{2}{\alpha}\right) = 2\left(x + \frac{1}{\alpha}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 2x + 2 \] ### Final Answer: The equation of the tangent to the curve at the point where the normal at A meets the curve again is: \[ y = 2x + 2 \]
