The normal to the curve , at any point is such that:

  1. A
    it passes through the origin
  2. B
    it makes angle with the x-axis
  3. C
    it passes through
  4. D
    it 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.
