JEE Main 2015 · 11 Apr · Shift 1, Mathematics question 71

The equation of a normal to the curve, sin⁡y=xsin⁡(π3+y)\sin y=x\sin\left(\dfrac\pi3+y\right) at x=0x=0, is :

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

At x=0x=0, sin⁡y=0\sin y=0, so y=0y=0. Differentiating, cos⁡y y′=sin⁡(π3+y)+xcos⁡(π3+y)y′\cos y\,y'=\sin\left(\frac\pi3+y\right)+x\cos\left(\frac\pi3+y\right)y', which gives y′=32y'=\frac{\sqrt3}2 at the origin.

The normal has slope −23-\frac2{\sqrt3}: 2x+3y=02x+\sqrt3y=0.
