If the normal to the curve \(y=f(x)\) at the point \((3,4)\) make an angle \(3 \pi / 4\) with the positive \(x\)-axis, then \(f(3)\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(x)\), Slope of normal \(=-\frac{1}{f^{\prime}(x)},-\frac{1}{f^{\prime}(3)}=\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4}=-1\) \(f^{\prime}(3)=1\)
