Detailed Solution

The given curve is xy=10 and the given point P(x, y)=(2, 5)

diff (1) w.r.to x.

xdydx+y=0dydx=yx

the slope of the tangent is m=dydxP=52

the equation of the tangent at P(2,5) is

y5=52(x2)

5x+2y20=0

The equation of the normal at P(2,5) is

y5=25(x2)5y25=2x4

 i.e., 2x5y=21

2x5y+21=0
