Question

 Let the normal at a point P on the curve y2-3x2+y+10=0 intersect the y -axis at 0,32. If m is the slope of the tangent at P to the curve, then |m| is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

Let P=x1,y1.   Then equation of tangent at P is2yy'-6x+y'=0y'=6x11+2y1slope of normal at P=32-y1-x1=-1+2y16x19-6y1=1+2y1 y1=1x1=±2 Slope of tangent =m=±123                                    =±4m=4
