The equation of the normal to the curve ...

The equation of the normal to the curve `y=x(2-x)` at the point (2, 0) is

A

`x-2y=2`

B

`x-2y+2=0`

C

`2x+y=4`

D

`2x+y-4=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The equation of the curve is `y=x(2-x) or, y=2x-x^(2)`
`rArr (dy)/(dx)=2-2x rArr ((dy)/(dx))_((2","0)) = 2-2 xx2 = -2`
So, the equation of the normal at (2, 0) is
`y-0= -(1)/(-2) (x-2) or, 2y=x-2`
