`" For a curve "(("length of normal"))/(("length of tangent"))` is equal to

A

subtangent

B

subnormal

C

slope of tangent

D

slope of normal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have,
Length of normal `=ysqrt(1+((dy)/(dx))^(2))`
Length of tangent`=(ysqrt(1+((dy)/(dx))^(2)))/((dy)/(dx))`
` therefore ("length of normal")/("length of tangent")=(dy)/(dx) =` Slope of tangent
