   Question 1.
   
   Find the equations of tangent and normal to the following curves at the given point on it:
   
   (i) y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – x + 1 at (1, 3)
   
   Solution:
   
   y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – x + 1
   
   ∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\) (3x
   
    2
   
   – x + 1)
   
   = 3 × 2x – 1 + 0
   
   = 6x – 1
   
   ∴ \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }(1,3)}\) = 6(1) – 1
   
   = 5
   
   = slope of the tangent at (1, 3).
   
   ∴ the equation of the tangent at (1, 3) is
   
   y – 3 = 5(x – 1)
   
   ∴ y – 3 = 5x – 5
   
   ∴ 5x – y – 2 = 0.
   
   The slope of the normal at (1, 3) = \(\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }(1,3)}}=-\frac{1}{5}\)
   
   ∴ the equation of the normal at (1, 3) is
   
   y – 3 = \(-\frac{1}{5}\)(x – 1)
   
   ∴ 5y – 15 = -x + 1
   
   ∴ x + 5y – 16 = 0
   
   Hence, the equations of the tangent and normal are 5x – y – 2 = 0 and x + 5y – 16 = 0 respectively.
  
    
  
   (ii) 2x
   
    2
   
   + 3y
   
    2
   
   = 5 at (1, 1)
   
   Solution:
   
   2x
   
    2
   
   + 3y
   
    2
   
   = 5
   
   Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
   
    
   
   = slope of the tangent at (1, 1)
   
   ∴ the equation of the tangent at (1, 1) is
   
   y – 1 = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)(x – 1)
   
   ∴ 3y – 3 = -2x + 2
   
   ∴ 2x + 3y – 5 = 0.
   
   The slope of normal at (1, 1) = \(\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }(1,1)}}=\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)}=\frac{3}{2}\)
   
   ∴ the equation of the normal at (1, 1) is
   
   y – 1 = \(\frac{3}{2}\)(x – 1)
   
   ∴ 2y – 2 = 3x – 3
   
   ∴ 3x – 2y – 1 = 0
   
   Hence, the equations of the tangent and normal are 2x + 3y – 5 = 0 and 3x – 2y – 1 = 0 respectively.
  
   (iii) x
   
    2
   
   + y
   
    2
   
   + xy = 3 at (1, 1)
   
   Solution:
   
   x
   
    2
   
   + y
   
    2
   
   + xy = 3
   
   Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
   
    
   
   = slope of the tangent at (1, 1)
   
   the equation of the tangent at (1, 1) is
   
   y – 1= -1(x – 1)
   
   ∴ y – 1 = -x + 1
   
   ∴ x + y = 2
   
   The slope of the normal at (1, 1) = \(\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{a t(1,1)}}\)
   
   = \(\frac{-1}{-1}\)
   
   = 1
   
   ∴ the equation of the normal at (1, 1) is y – 1 = 1(x – 1)
   
   ∴ y – 1 = x – 1
   
   ∴ x – y = 0
   
   Hence, the equations of tangent and normal are x + y = 2 and x – y = 0 respectively.
  
    
  
   Question 2.
   
   Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the curve y = x
   
    2
   
   + 5 where the tangent is parallel to the line 4x – y + 1 = 0.
   
   Solution:
   
   Let P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) be the point on the curve y = x
   
    2
   
   + 5 where the tangent is parallel to the line 4x – y + 1 = 0.
   
   Differentiating y = x
   
    2
   
   + 5 w.r.t. x, we get
   
   \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\)(x
   
    2
   
   + 5) = 2x + 0 = 2x
   
   \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)}=2 x_{1}\)
   
   = slope of the tangent at (x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   )
   
   Let m
   
    1
   
   = 2x
   
    1
   
   
   The slope of the line 4x – y + 1 = 0 is
   
   m
   
    2
   
   = \(\frac{-4}{-1}\) = 4
   
   Since, the tangent at P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) is parallel to the line 4x – y + 1 = 0,
   
   m
   
    1
   
   = m
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ 2x
   
    1
   
   = 4
   
   ∴ x
   
    1
   
   = 2
   
   Since, (x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) lies on the curve y = x
   
    2
   
   + 5, y
   
    1
   
   = \(x_{1}^{2}\) + 5
   
   ∴ y
   
    1
   
   = (2)
   
    2
   
   + 5 = 9 ……[x
   
    1
   
   = 2]
   
   ∴ the coordinates of the point are (2, 9) and the slope of the tangent = m
   
    1
   
   = m
   
    2
   
   = 4.
   
   ∴ the equation of the tangent at (2, 9) is
   
   y – 9 = 4(x – 2)
   
   ∴ y – 9 = 4x – 8
   
   ∴ 4x – y + 1 = 0
   
   Slope of the normal = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}=-\frac{1}{4}\)
   
   ∴ the equation of the normal at (2, 9) is
   
   y – 9 = \(-\frac{1}{4}\)(x – 2)
   
   ∴ 4y – 36 = -x + 2
   
   ∴ x + 4y – 38 = 0
   
   Hence, the equations of tangent and normal are 4x – y + 1 = 0 and x + 4y – 38 = 0 respectively.
  
    
  
   Question 3.
   
   Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the curve y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – 3x – 5 where the tangent is parallel to the line 3x – y + 1 = 0.
   
   Solution:
   
   Let P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) be the point on the curve y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – 3x – 5 where the tangent is parallel to the line 3x – y + 1 = 0.
   
   Differentiating y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – 3x – 5 w.r.t. x, we get
   
   \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\)(3x
   
    2
   
   – 3x – 5)
   
   = 3 × 2x – 3 × 1 – 0
   
   = 6x – 3
   
   ∴ \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\text {at }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)}=6 x_{1}-3\)
   
   = slope of the tangent at (x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   )
   
   Let m
   
    1
   
   = 6x
   
    1
   
   – 3
   
   The slope of the line 3x – y + 1 = 0
   
   m
   
    2
   
   = \(\frac{-3}{-1}\) = 3
   
   Since, the tangent at P(x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) is parallel to the line 3x – y + 1 = 0,
   
   m
   
    1
   
   = m
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ 6x
   
    1
   
   – 3 = 3
   
   ∴ 6x
   
    1
   
   = 6
   
   ∴ x
   
    1
   
   = 1
   
   Since, (x
   
    1
   
   , y
   
    1
   
   ) lies on the curve y = 3x
   
    2
   
   – 3x – 5,
   
   \(y_{1}=3 x_{1}{ }^{2}-3 x_{1}-5\), where x
   
    1
   
   = 1
   
   = 3(1)
   
    2
   
   – 3(1) – 5
   
   = 3 – 3 – 5
   
   = -5
   
   ∴ the coordinates of the point are (1, -5) and the slope of the tangent = m
   
    1
   
   = m
   
    2
   
   = 3.
   
   ∴ the equation of the tangent at (1, -5) is
   
   y – (-5) = 3(x – 1)
   
   ∴ y + 5 = 3x – 3
   
   ∴ 3x – y – 8 = 0
   
   Slope of the normal = \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}=-\frac{1}{3}\)
   
   ∴ the equation of the normal at (1, -5) is
   
   y – (-5) = \(-\frac{1}{3}\)(x – 1)
   
   ∴ 3y + 15 = -x + 1
   
   ∴ x + 3y + 14 = 0
   
   Hence, the equations of tangent and normal are 3x – y – 8 = 0 and x + 3y + 14 = 0 respectively.
