# Solution for The Equation of the Normal to the Curve Y = X(2 − X) at the Point (2, 0) is (A) X − 2y = 2 (B) X − 2y + 2 = 0 (C) 2x + Y = 4 (D) 2x + Y − 4 = 0 - CBSE (Science) Class 12 - Mathematics

#### Question

The equation of the normal to the curve y = x(2 − x) at the point (2, 0) is
(a) x − 2y = 2
(b) x − 2y + 2 = 0
(c) 2x +  y = 4
(d) 2x + y − 4 = 0

#### Solution

(a) x − 2y = 2

$\text { Here },$

$y = x\left( 2 - x \right) = 2x - x^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = 2 - 2x$

$\text { Slope of the tangent }= \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)_\left( 2, 0 \right) = 2 - 4 = - 2$

$\text { Slope of the normal }, m=\frac{- 1}{- 2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\text { Given }:$

$\left( x_1 , y_1 \right) = \left( 2, 0 \right)$

$\therefore \text { Equation of the normal }$

$= y - y_1 = m\left( x - x_1 \right)$

$\Rightarrow y - 0 = \frac{1}{2}\left( x - 2 \right)$

$\Rightarrow 2y = x - 2$

$\Rightarrow x - 2y = 2$
