Answer

x+5y+18=0x + 5y + 18 = 0

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Find the y-coordinate of the point.

    Substitute x=2x=2 into the equation of the curve y=2x2−3x−6y = 2x^2 - 3x - 6.

    y=2(2)2−3(2)−6y = 2(2)^2 - 3(2) - 6 y=2(4)−6−6y = 2(4) - 6 - 6 y=8−6−6y = 8 - 6 - 6 y=2−6y = 2 - 6 y=−4y = -4

    The point is (2,−4)(2, -4).

  2. Find the derivative of the curve to get the slope of the tangent.

    Differentiate y=2x2−3x−6y = 2x^2 - 3x - 6 with respect to xx.

    dydx=ddx(2x2)−ddx(3x)−ddx(6)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(2x^2) - \frac{d}{dx}(3x) - \frac{d}{dx}(6) dydx=4x−3\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x - 3
  3. Calculate the slope of the tangent at x=2x=2.

    Substitute x=2x=2 into the derivative dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

    mt=4(2)−3m_t = 4(2) - 3 mt=8−3m_t = 8 - 3 mt=5m_t = 5
  4. Calculate the slope of the normal.

    The slope of the normal mnm_n is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent mtm_t.

    mn=−1mtm_n = -\frac{1}{m_t} mn=−15m_n = -\frac{1}{5}
  5. Find the equation of the normal using the point-slope form.

    Using the point (x1,y1)=(2,−4)(x_1, y_1) = (2, -4) and the slope mn=−15m_n = -\frac{1}{5}:

    y−y1=mn(x−x1)y - y_1 = m_n(x - x_1) y−(−4)=−15(x−2)y - (-4) = -\frac{1}{5}(x - 2) y+4=−15(x−2)y + 4 = -\frac{1}{5}(x - 2)

    Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction:

    5(y+4)=−1(x−2)5(y + 4) = -1(x - 2) 5y+20=−x+25y + 20 = -x + 2

    Rearrange the equation to the standard form Ax+By+C=0Ax + By + C = 0:

    x+5y+20−2=0x + 5y + 20 - 2 = 0 x+5y+18=0x + 5y + 18 = 0
