Detailed Solution

The given curve is y=x+sinxcosx

The given point is x=π2y=π2+0=π2, it is π2,π2

Differentiate the equation of the curve 

dydx=1-sin2x+cos2x

Let m be the slope of the tangent to the curve at π2,π2

m=1-1+0=0

Equation of normal is x=k, since the tangent is parallel to x- axis

Therefore, the equation of normal is x=π22x-π=0
