The slope of the normal to the curve \(y=2 x^2-4\) at \(P(1,-2)\) is:

  1. A 4
  2. B \(-4\)
  3. C \(-\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y = 2x^2 - 4\) \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x\) \(m_{tangent} = \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=1} = 4(1) = 4\) \(m_{normal} = -\frac{1}{m_{tangent}} = -\frac{1}{4}\)
