y = 2 x 2 + x + 2 . . . . ( i )

d y d x = 4 x + 1

Slope of normal

− d x d y = − 1 4 x + 1

Equation of PQ y - b = − 1 4 α + 1 ( x − α )  

It passes (6, 4)

⇒ ( 4 − β ) ( 4 α + 1 ) = − ( 6 − α )

4 α 3 + 3 α 2 − 3 α − 3 = 0

f ' ( x ) = 4 x 2 − 1 x so f (x) is decreasing in ( 0 , 1 2 ) a n d     ( 1 2 , ∞ ) ⇒ a = 1 2  

Tangent at y2 = 2x is y = mx + 1 2 m it is passing through (4, 3) therefore we get m = 1 2 o r     1 4  

So tangent may be  y = 1 2 x + 1     o r     y = 1 4 x + 2       b u t     y = 1 2 x + 1  passes through (-2, 0) so rejected.

Equation of normal  x 9 + y 3 6 = 1

f ( x ) = { x 3 − x 2 + 1 0 x − 7 , x ≤ 1 − 2 x + l o g 2 ( b 2 − 4 ) , x > 1  

If f(x) has maximum value at x = 1 then

f ( 1 ) ≤ f ( 1 ) ⇒ − 2 + l o g 2 ( b 2 − 4 ) ≤ 1 − 1 + 1 0 − 7

⇒ l o g 2 ( b 2 − 4 ) ≤ 5 ⇒ 0 < b 2 − 4 ≤ 3 2

⇒ b 2 − 4 > 0 ⇒ b ∈ ( − ∞ , − 2 ) ∪ ( 2 , ∞ )         …….(i)

A n d     b 2 − 4 ≤ 3 2 ⇒ b ∈ [ − 6 , 6 ]                      …….(ii)

From (i) and (ii) we get  b ∈ [ − 6 , − 2 ) ∪ ( 2 , 6 ]

OP2 = x2 = y2

y = ex, y’ = ex,

slope of normal =  − 1 e x

y x = − 1 e x    

− 1 e x = e x x ⇒ − x = e 2 x      

By hit and trial we get  x = − 2 5

P ≡ ( − 2 5 , e − 2 / 5 )

O P = 4 2 5 + e − 4 / 5 ⇒ O P 2 = 1 4 2 5 = m n

Equation of tangent of at y = l o g ? x  at e λ , λ  is y - λ = 1 e λ x - e λ

It cuts y   axis at ( 0 , λ , - 1 )

Also normal to y 2 = 8 x    at ( 7,4 )    is y - 4 = - ( x - 2 )  

  y = - x + 6  Cuts y axis at ( 0,6 )  SO ATQ 6 = - 1 + λ ⇒ λ = 7

f (x) = x? /20 - x? /12 + 5
f' (x) = x? /4 - x³/3 = x³ (x/4 - 1/3)
Local maxima at 0, Local minima at 4/3
f' (x) = x³ - x² = x² (x-1)
x = 1 point of inflection
