Find the The Slopes of the tangent and the normal to the following curves at the indicated points :
at x = 9
Given:
y = at x = 9
First, we have to find of given function, f(x),i.e, to find the derivative of f(x)
⇒ y =
⇒ y = (
(xn) = n.xn – 1
The Slope of the tangent is
⇒ y = (
Since, x = 9
x = 9 =
x = 9 =
x = 9 =
x = 9 =
x = 9 =
The Slope of the tangent at x = 9 is
⇒ The Slope of the normal =
⇒ The Slope of the normal =
⇒ The Slope of the normal =
⇒ The Slope of the normal = – 6
