The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the normal to the curve \( y(x-2)(x-3) - x + 7 = 0 \) at the point where the curve meets the X-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the point where the curve meets the X-axis The curve meets the X-axis where \( y = 0 \). We substitute \( y = 0 \) into the equation: \[ 0(x-2)(x-3) - x + 7 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -x + 7 = 0 \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = 7 \] Thus, the point where the curve meets the X-axis is \( (7, 0) \). ### Step 2: Differentiate the curve to find the slope of the tangent We need to differentiate the equation \( y(x-2)(x-3) - x + 7 = 0 \) with respect to \( x \). Using the product rule, we differentiate: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[y(x-2)(x-3)] - \frac{d}{dx}[x] + \frac{d}{dx}[7] = 0 \] This gives us: \[ \frac{dy}{dx}(x-2)(x-3) + y\left(\frac{d}{dx}[(x-2)(x-3)]\right) - 1 = 0 \] Calculating \( \frac{d}{dx}[(x-2)(x-3)] \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}[(x-2)(x-3)] = (x-3) + (x-2) = 2x - 5 \] Substituting back, we have: \[ \frac{dy}{dx}(x-2)(x-3) + y(2x - 5) - 1 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \frac{dy}{dx}(x-2)(x-3) = 1 - y(2x - 5) \] Thus, \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 - y(2x - 5)}{(x-2)(x-3)} \] ### Step 4: Evaluate the slope of the tangent at the point \( (7, 0) \) Substituting \( x = 7 \) and \( y = 0 \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 - 0(2(7) - 5)}{(7-2)(7-3)} = \frac{1}{(5)(4)} = \frac{1}{20} \] ### Step 5: Find the slope of the normal The slope of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent: \[ \text{slope of normal} = -\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}} = -20 \] ### Step 6: Write the equation of the normal Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] Substituting \( (x_1, y_1) = (7, 0) \) and \( m = -20 \): \[ y - 0 = -20(x - 7) \] This simplifies to: \[ y = -20x + 140 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 20x + y - 140 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the normal to the curve at the point where it meets the X-axis is: \[ 20x + y - 140 = 0 \]
