THREE NORMALS ARE DRAWN FROM THE POINTS (14,7) TO THE CURVE y2-16X-8Y=0. FIND THE COORDINATES OF FEET OF NORMALS.NOTE. IN EQUNTION 2 IS POWER OF y

dear manoj,

let the coordinates of foot of perprndicular be (x1,y1)

differentiating the equation to find the slope of the normal,

=> dy/dx = 8/(y-4)

slope = -(dx/dy)

hence we can find the equation of normal in terms of x1 and y1.

then passing through the (x1,y1)

thus we find a cubic equation on solving which we get,

y1= 0, 16 , -4

thus corresponding x1 = 0, 8 , 3
