The equation of the normal to the curve \(y=\cosh x\) drawn at the point nearest to the origin is

  1. A \(y=0\)
  2. B \(x=1\)
  3. C \(x=0\)
  4. D \(y=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because y=\cos h x\) \(\Rightarrow y^{\prime}=\sin \mathrm{hx}\) To find the nearest point to the origin, we can set the derivative equal to zero. \[ \therefore \sin \mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})=0 \] The only solution of this equation is \(x=0\) At…
