The point on the curve \(y^2=2(x-3)\) at which the normal is parallel to the line \(y-2 x+1=0\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((5,-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y^2=2(x-3) \)
\( \therefore 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=2 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{y} \)
\( \therefore \text { Slope of normal}=-y \text { and as per condition given} \)
\(-y=2 \quad \Rightarrow y=-2 \)
\( \therefore \quad(-2)^2=2(x-3) \Rightarrow x=5 \Rightarrow \text { point is }(5,-2)\)
