Question

If the tangent at ‘t’ on the curve y = $8 t cubed space minus 1$ , x = $4 t squared space plus space 3$ meets the curve again at $t subscript 1$ and is normal to the curve at that point, then value of t must be -

± $\frac{1}{3}$
± $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
± $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$
None of these

hint Hint:

Slope of tangent = $fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction space equals space fraction numerator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d y over denominator d t end fraction end style over denominator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d x over denominator d t end fraction end style end fraction$

The correct answer is: ± $1 third$

Slope of tangent = $fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction space equals space fraction numerator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d y over denominator d t end fraction end style over denominator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d x over denominator d t end fraction end style end fraction$
Given : y = $8 t cubed space minus 1$ and x = $4 t squared space plus space 3$
$fraction numerator d y over denominator d t end fraction space equals space 24 t squared space a n d space fraction numerator d x over denominator d t end fraction space equals space 8 t$
$fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction space equals space fraction numerator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d y over denominator d t end fraction end style over denominator begin display style bevelled fraction numerator d x over denominator d t end fraction end style end fraction$ = $fraction numerator 24 t squared over denominator 8 t end fraction space equals space 3 t$
