the line that is normal to the curve x^2 + 2xy – 3y^2 = 0 at (1,1) intersects the curve at what other point?

Question

i found the derivative to be dy/dx = - (2x + 2y)/(2x - 6y)then i found the slope at that point to be equal to 1, which makes the slope of the normal -1then i found the normal line to be y = -x + 2do i set the curve equal to the line?as in x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 = 0and -y - x + 2 = 0so x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 = -y - x + 2i did this, then i tried to solve for y. i couldn't. i don't think i'm on the right track though. so i guess, i'm not sure what to do after i get the normal line

No I don't think you were on the right track.You can rearrange the equation into two squares as follows:x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 = 0x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 4y^2(x + y) ^ 2 = (2y) ^ 2x + y = +/- 2yx = y or - 3yy = x or -x/3Graphically, the 'curve' is two straight lines passing through the origin.The point (1,1) lies on one of these lines, the line y = x. The slope of this line = 1. The slope of the normal must be -1. Therefore the normal at (1,1) has the equation y - 1 = -1 (x - 1) = 1 - xy = 2 - xThe normal clearly does not intersect the line y = x at any other point. It would however intersect the line y = -x/3. To find this intersection point we would simply solvey = 2 - x and y = -x/3-x/3 = 2 - x-x = 6 - 3x2x = 6x = 3y = -1i.e. the normal at (1,1) also intersects the curve at (3, -1).

x² + 2xy - 3y² = 0Take the derivative and evalutate it at the point (1, 1). 2x + 2y + 2x(dy/dx) - 6y(dy/dx) = 0x + y + x(dy/dx) - 3y(dy/dx) = 0(x - 3y)(dy/dx) = -x - ydy/dx = (-x - y)/(x - 3y) = (x + y)/(3y - x)dy/dx = (1 + 1)/(3*1 - 1) = 2/2 = 1The slope of the equation of the line normal to the curve at (1,1) is the negative reciprocal or m = -1. The equation of the normal line is:y - 1 = -(x - 1) = -x + 1y = -x + 2_______Plug the value for y into the equation of the curve and solve for x.x² + 2xy - 3y² = 0x² + 2x(-x + 2) - 3(-x + 2)² = 0x² - 2x² + 4x - 3(x² - 4x + 4) = 0x² - 2x² + 4x - 3x² + 12x - 12 = 0-4x² + 16x - 12 = 0 x² - 4x + 3 = 0(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0x = 1, 3______Plug the value of x into the curve and solve for y. Plug in x = 1.x² + 2xy - 3y² = 01 + 2y - 3y² = 03y² - 2y - 1 = 0(3y + 1)(y - 1) = 0y = -1/3, 1Only one of these values is on the normal line. The other solution is extraneous. The only solution is:y = 1So one point at the intersection of the curve and the normal line is (1, 1)._______Plug the value of x into the curve and solve for y. Plug in x = 3.x² + 2xy - 3y² = 09 + 6y - 3y² = 0-3 - 2y + y² = 0y² - 2y - 3 = 0(y + 1)(y - 3) = 0y = -1, 3Only one of these values is on the normal line. The other solution is extraneous. The only solution is:y = -1So a second point at the intersection of the curve and the normal line is (3, -1)._______The two points of intersection are:(1, 1) and (3, -1)

The equation x² + y² - 4x + 0y - 9 = 0 i.e., ( x - 2 )² + ( y - 0 )² = 13 = (?13)² represents a circle with C(2,0) and r = ?(13). _____________________________________ Line L : 3x - 2y + ok = 0 intersects the circle in 2 factors. hence, if seg CP is perpendicular to L, then ...
