Question
The points on the curve 9y2 = x3 where the normal to the curve makes equal intercepts with coordinates axes is-
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.None of these
Solution
Let the point on the curve 9y2 = x3 is P(x1, y1)
2 × 9 × y ×
= 3x2


Normal of slope = -
so
= ± 1
= 1
-3y1 × 2 = x21 so 9 ×
= x31
so
= - 1
2 × 3y1 = x21 .... (i)
also lies point on the curve 9y2 = x3
9 y21 = x31
9 ×
= x31
x1 = 4
x1 = 4, y1 =

finally point are
