Let the function f(x) = 2x2 – loge x, x > 0, be decreasing in (0, a) and increasing in (a, 4). A tangent to the parabola y2 = 4ax at a point P on it passes through the point (8a, 8a – 1) but does not pass through the point If the equation of the normal at P is then a + b is equal to…………….

so f (x) is decreasing in
Tangent at y2 = 2x is y = mx + it is passing through (4, 3) therefore we get m =
So tangent may be passes through (-2, 0) so rejected.
