The equation of the normal to the curve

y = {e^{ - 2\left| x \right|}}

at the point where the curve cuts the line

x = 1/2

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

2e\left( {ex - 2y} \right) = {e^2} - 4

Option B (

2e(ex - 2y) = {e^2} - 4

) is correct because it is the equation of the normal to the curve at the specified point, found by calculating the derivative and using the point-slope form.
