 Slope of tangent to the curve y=f(x) at point P(𝑥1, 𝑦1 ) 𝑖𝑠 𝑚 =tan 𝜃 = ( )
𝑑𝑥 (𝑥1, 𝑦1 )

 Let 𝑚 & 𝑚, be the slope of tangent and normal at a point p(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) respectively then
−1
𝑚 . 𝑚, = −1 ∴ 𝑚, = 𝑚
−1 −1
 Slope of normal to the curve y=f(x) at point P(𝑥1, 𝑦1 ) 𝑖𝑠 𝑚, = 𝑑𝑦 =
( ) 𝑚
𝑑𝑥 (𝑥1, 𝑦1 )

 Equation of tangent at point (𝑥1, 𝑦1 ) and having slope m is given by


(𝑦 − 𝑦1 ) = 𝑚(𝑥 − 𝑥1 )
 Equation of normal at point (𝑥1, 𝑦1 ) and having slope 𝑚, is given by
(𝑦 − 𝑦1 ) = 𝑚, (𝑥 − 𝑥1 )
 Slope of tangent (curve) is also called as gradient of tangent (curve).

 For Increasing function at x=a ,𝑓 , (𝑎) > 0 𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑥 ) > 0.
𝑥=𝑎
𝑑𝑦
 For decreasing function at x=a , 𝑓 , (𝑎) < 0 𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑥 ) < 0.
𝑥=𝑎

 If 𝑓 , (𝑎) = 0 then the function is neither Increasing nor decreasing at x=a, such point is called as
turning point. At turning point function may be maximum or minimum. Thus at maximum or
𝑑𝑦
minimum value of function y= f(x) , 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓 , (𝑥) = 0.

 Procedure of finding Maximum or Minimum value of function y=f(x)


𝑑𝑦
1) Diff y w.r.t. x ,find 𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
2) For max. or min. value 𝑑𝑥 = 0
𝑑𝑦
3) Solve𝑑𝑥 = 0, the roots of equation x=x1,x2,x3……

4) Diff. 𝑑𝑥 w.r.t. x ,find 𝑑𝑥 2
𝑑2 𝑦
a) If (𝑑𝑥 2 ) < 0 𝑖. 𝑒. negative , then the function is maximum at x=xi and maximum
𝑥=𝑎

value is y=f(xi)
𝑑2 𝑦
b) If (𝑑𝑥 2 ) > 0 𝑖. 𝑒. positive , then the function is minimum at x=xi and minimum
𝑥=𝑎

value is y=f(xi)

 Radius of Curvature:
The curvature is the ratio of change of direction of the tangent at point p.

Radius of Curvature is the reciprocal of curvature at any point p & denoted by 𝜌 (𝑟ℎ𝑜).
