If a normal to the parabola \(y^2=12 x\) at \(A(3,-6)\) cuts the parabola again at \(P\), then the equation of the tangent at \(P\) is

  1. A \(x-3 y+27=0\)
  2. B \(x+y=45\)
  3. C \(y-x+9=0\)
  4. D \(3 x+y=99\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x+y=45\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(y^2=12 x\) \(\therefore \quad 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=12 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{6}{y}\) \(\therefore\) Slope of Normal at \(A(3,-6)=\frac{-1}{\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(3,-6)}}=\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{6}{-6}\right)}=1\) \(\therefore\) Equation of normal at…
