The given point is on the curve. Find the lines that are (a) tangent and (b) normal to the curve at the given point.
Final Answer: The equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point
Step 1 :We are given the curve
Step 2 :To find the tangent and normal lines to the curve at a given point, we first need to find the derivative of the curve at that point. The derivative will give us the slope of the tangent line. The slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line.
Step 3 :We can find the derivative using implicit differentiation. The derivative of the given function is
Step 4 :Substituting the given point
Step 5 :The slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line, which is -1/2.
Step 6 :Now that we have the slopes of the tangent and normal lines, we can use the point-slope form of a line to find the equations of these lines. The point-slope form of a line is given by
Step 7 :Substituting the given point
Step 8 :Substituting the given point
Step 9 :Final Answer: The equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point
