If normal to the curve

y = f\left( x \right)

is parallel to

x

-axis, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{{dx}}{{dy}} = 0

Option C (

\frac{{dx}}{{dy}} = 0

) is correct because if the normal to the curve is parallel to the x-axis, then the tangent to the curve is parallel to the y-axis, implying that dx/dy = 0.
