Question:
fimd the equation of the line which is normal to the curve at one point and tangent to the curve x=4yy at other point
Answer:

Given, equation of curve is

x = 4y2

Differentiate w.r.t. x, we get

      1 = 8y * (dy/dx)

=> dy/dx = 1/8y

Let the point at tangent is P(a1 , b1 )

So, (dy/dx)P = 1/8b1

Now, equation of tangent is

=> y - b1 = (dy/dx)P * (x - a1 )

=> y - b1 = (1/8b1 ) * (x - a1 )

Again equation of normal at point Q(a2 , b2 ) is

=> y - b2 = -1/(dy/dx)Q * (x - a2 )

=> y - b2 = -1/(1/8b2 ) * (x - a2 )

=> y - b2 = -8b2  * (x - a2 )
