Question 9

9 A curve has equation \(y = 2 x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } - 1\).
  1. Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point \(A ( 4,3 )\), giving your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\).
    A point is moving along the curve \(y = 2 x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } - 1\) in such a way that at \(A\) the rate of increase of the \(x\)-coordinate is \(3 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).

  3. As the point moves down the normal, find the rate of change of its \(x\)-coordinate.
