Given : curve y=3x^2-x^3
To Find : equation of the tangent and normal to the curve
Solution:
y = 3x² - x³
curve meet x axis
=> y = 0
3x² - x³ = 0
=> x² (3 - x) = 0
=> x = 0 , 0 , x = 3
Hence curve touches x axis at x = 0
x = 0 then y = 0
dy/dx = 6x - 3x² = 0
Hence tangent is y = 0
and normal is x = 0
at x = 3 it cuts x axis
y = 0
(3 , 0)
y = 3x² - x³
dy/dx = 6x - 3x² = 18 - 27 = 9
Tangent = y - 0 = 9(x - 3)
=> y = 9x - 27
Normal y - 0 = (-1/9)(x - 3)
=> 9y = -x + 3
=> x + 9y = 3
