A normal is drawn at a point P(x, y) of a curve. If meets the x-axis at Q. If PQ is of constant length k, and the curve passes through (0, k), then the equation of the curve is
A normal is drawn at a point P(x, y) of a curve. If meets the x-axis at Q. If PQ is of constant length k, and the curve passes through (0, k), then the equation of the curve is
Length of normal
k = y √ (1 + (dy/dx)²)
⇒ ∫ (y dy) / √ (k² - y²) = ∫ dx
Let k² – y² = t²
-2y dy = 2t dt
-√ (k² - y²) = x + c
It passes through (0, k)
x² + y² = k²
