The points on the curve \(y^2=x+\sin x\) at which the normal is parallel to the Y-axis lie on

  1. A a line parallel to \(Y\)-axis
  2. B a circle with centre at origin
  3. C a parabola
  4. D a pair of lines bisecting the angle between the coordinate axes
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a parabola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given curve is \(y^2=x+\sin x\) ...(i) \(\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1+\cos x}{2 y}\) Now, slope of the normal is \(m=-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}=-\frac{2 y}{1+\cos x}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Normal is parallel to \(y\)-axis…
