If we write the equation of the tangent as
\displaystyle y=kx+m
we know that the tangent's gradient
\displaystyle k
is equal to the derivative of
\displaystyle y=x^{\text{2}}\text{ }
at the point
\displaystyle x=\text{1}, and since
\displaystyle {y}'=\text{2}x, so
\displaystyle k={y}'\left( 1 \right)=2\centerdot 1=2
We can determine the constant \displaystyle m\text{ } with the condition that the tangent should go through the grazing point \displaystyle \left( 1 \right.,\left. 1 \right), i.e. the point \displaystyle \left( 1 \right.,\left. 1 \right) should satisfy the equation of the tangent
\displaystyle 1=2\centerdot 1+m
which gives that
\displaystyle m=-\text{1}
The normal to the curve
\displaystyle y=x^{\text{2}}\text{ }
at the point
\displaystyle \left( 1 \right.,\left. 1 \right)
is the straight line which is perpendicular to the tangent at the same point.
Because two straight lines which are perpendicular to each other have gradients which satisfy \displaystyle k_{1}\centerdot k_{2}=-1, the normal must have a gradient which is equal to
\displaystyle -\frac{1}{k}=-\frac{1}{2}
The equation of the normal can therefore be written as
\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+n
where
\displaystyle n
is some constant.
Since the normal must pass through the line \displaystyle \left( 1 \right.,\left. 1 \right), we can determine the constant \displaystyle n if we substitute the point into the equation of the normal,
\displaystyle 1=-\frac{1}{2}\centerdot +n
and this gives
\displaystyle n=\frac{3}{2}.
