At any point of a curve ( subtangent ) x (subnormal) is equal to the square of the-

A

slope of the tangent at that point

B

slope of the normal at that point

C

abscissa of that point

D

ordinate of that point

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We have,
Sub normal `= y (dy)/(dx), " Sub tangent"=(y)/((dy)/(dx))`
`therefore " Subnormal" xx "Subtangent"=y^(2)`
