The normal to the curve , at any point is such that:
- Ait passes through the origin
- Bit makes angle with the x-axis
- Cit passes through
- Dit is at a constant distance from the origin
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, find the slope of the tangent :.The slope of the normal is .Equation of the normal: The perpendicular distance from the origin to this line is:.Since is independent of , the normal is at a constant distance from the origin.
