Let P (x, y) be any point on y = f (x). Let the tangent drawn at ‘ P ‘ Physics
meets the x-axis at ‘ T ‘, and normal drawn at ‘ P ‘ meets the x- Chemistry
axis at ‘ N ‘.

If ‘ P1 ‘ be the projection of the point P on the x-axis then TP1 is


called the sub-tangent (projection of line segment PT on the x-
axis) and NP1 is called the sub normal (projection of line
segment PN on the x-axis).

Let ∠PTN = θ ⇒ ∠P1PN = θ

We have tanθ = dy/dx and PP1 = |y|


Now, PT= |y cosec θ|

or, P T = |y|√1 + coT2 θ

dx 2
P T = |y|√1 + ( )
dy

Hence length of the tangent P T


dx 2
= |y|√1 + ( )
dy

Now, PN = |y sec θ|

P N = |y|√1 + TaN2 θ Topics
