Find the equation of tangents to the curve y= x3+2x-4, which are perpendicular to line x+14y+3 =0.
Show that semi-vertical angle of a cone of maximum volume and given slant height is cos-1.
Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the curve
Let be the equation of the curve.
Rewriting the above equation as,
Differentiating the above function with respect to x, we get,
Slope of the tangent is
Equation of the tangent is
Slope of the normal is
Equation of the normal is
