Question 25

The cross-section of a custom aerodynamic fairing is modeled by a curve with equation

2y2+3x=4ye0.5x 2y^2 + 3x = 4ye^{0.5x} 2y2+3x=4ye0.5x
a.

Determine an expression for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}dxdy​ in terms of xxx and yyy.

[4]
b.

The curve intersects the yyy-axis at the origin and at a point PPP.

Find the equation of the normal to the curve at PPP, writing your answer in the form y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c where mmm and ccc are constants to be found.
