The slope of the normal to the curve \(x^2+3 y+y^2=5\) at \((1,1)\) is :

  1. A \(\frac{5}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{5}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{2}{5}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{5}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{d}{dx}(x^2+3y+y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(5) \) \( 2x + 3\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \) \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-2x}{3+2y} \) \( m_t = \frac{-2(1)}{3+2(1)} = -\frac{2}{5} \) \( m_{normal} = -\frac{1}{m_t} = -\frac{1}{(-2/5)} = \frac{5}{2} \)
