A streamline of fluid flow in a microfluidic device follows a path described by the curve with equation
3y2+8x=3ye−4x 3y^2 + 8x = 3ye^{-4x} 3y2+8x=3ye−4xFind dydx\frac{dy}{dx}dxdy in terms of xxx and yyy.
The path crosses the vertical axis at the origin and at a point PPP.
Find the equation of the normal to the streamline at PPP, writing your answer in the form y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c where mmm and ccc are constants to be determined.
