Sagot :

The equations of the lines in the form y=mx+b are-

  • Tangent line: y = 240x - 215994
  • Normal line: y = - 0.00417x + 9.75

What is slope?

A line's slope is described like the change in y coordinate to the change in x coordinate. The net y coordinate change is y, whereas the net x coordinate change is x.

Therefore the variation in y coordinate in relation to the variation in x coordinate is written as, dy/dx.

Now, as per the given conditions;

The equation of the line is y = (6 + 4x)²

Simplifying the equation;

y = (6 + 4x)²

  = 36 + 48x + 16x²

y = 16x² + 48x + 36

Now, differentiate the equation to find the tangent slope;

dy/dx = 32x + 48

At the point (6,900),

dy/dx = 32(6) + 48 = 240

Let equation of the tangent at point (a,b) is;

(y - b) = m(x - a)

a = 6, b = 900, m = 240

y - 6 = 240(x - 900)

Write this in y = mx + b form,

y - 6 = 240x - 216000

y = 240x - 215994 (Equation of Tangent line)

The slope of the normal line = -(1/slope of the tangent line) (since they're both perpendicular to each other)

Slope of the normal line = -1/240

The, equation of the normal will become;

y - 6 = (-1/240)(x - 900)

y - 6 = (-x/240) + 3.75

y = (-1/240)x + 9.75

y = - 0.00417x + 9.75 (Equation of Normal line)

Thus, the equation for the normal and tangent has be found.
