find the equation of a normal to the curve y=xlogx which is parallel to the line 2x-2y+3=0
 

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Slopem of line 2x-2y+3=-Coefficient of xCoefficient of y=-2-2=1As normal is parallel to that line, hence slope wof normal will also be m=1y=x.logxdydx=x.ddxlogx+logx.ddxx=x.1x+logx.1dydx=1+logxdydxx1,y1=1+logx1Slope of normal=-1dydxx1,y1=-11+logx1 which should equal to1.-11+logx1=11+logx1=-1logx1=-2x1=e-2=1e2y1=x1logx1=1e2-2=-2e2Equation of normal will be:y-y1=mx-x1y--2e2=1x-1e2y+2e2=x-1e2x-y=2e2+1e2x-y=3e2
