TopicStandard Integrals and Reverse Chain Rule

  1. The curve \(C\) with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , \quad x > 0\), passes through the point \(P ( 4,1 )\).
Given that \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 4 \sqrt { x } - 2 - \frac { 8 } { 3 x ^ { 2 } }\)
  1. find the equation of the normal to \(C\) at \(P\). Write your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers to be found.
