For a curve

\frac{\text { (length of normal) }}{\text { (length of tangent) }}

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Slope of tangent

Option C (Slope of tangent) is correct because the ratio of the length of the normal to the length of the tangent is equal to the slope of the tangent.

The complete set of value of '

a

' for which there exists at least one line that is tangent to the graph of the curve

y=x^3-a x

at one point and normal to the graph at another point is given by The point of intersection of the tangents drawn to the curve

x^2 y=1-y

at the points where it is met by the curve

x y=1-y

, is given by Let

C

. If

H

is the set of points on the curve

\mathrm{C}

where the tangent is parallel to

x

-axis and

V

is the set of points on

C

where the tangent is parallel to

y

-axis, then The curve

y-e^{x y}+x=0

has a vertical tangent at the point: If normal to the curve

y = f\left( x \right)

is parallel to

x

-axis, then The tangents to the curve

x = a\left( {\theta - \sin \theta } \right),\;y = a\left( {1 + \cos \theta } \right)

at the points

\theta = \left( {2k + 1} \right)\pi ,\;k \in Z

are parallel to:
