Find normal at a given point on the curve

Given a curve [ y = x(A – x) ], the task is to find normal at a given point ( x, y) on that curve, where A is an integer number and x, y also any integer.
Examples:
Input: A = 2, x = 2, y = 0
Output: 2y = x - 2
Since y = x(2 - x)
y = 2x - x^2 differentiate it with respect to x
dy/dx = 2 - 2x put x = 2, y = 0 in this equation
dy/dx = 2 - 2* 2 = -2
equation => (Y - 0 ) = ((-1/-2))*( Y - 2)
=> 2y = x -2
Input: A = 3, x = 4, y = 5
Output: Not possible
Point is not on that curve
Approach: First we need to find given point is on that curve or not if the point is on that curve then:
- We need to differentiate that equation that point don’t think too much for differentiation of this equation if you analyze then you find that dy/dx always become A – 2x.
- Put x, y in dy/dx.
- Equation of normal is Y – y = -(1/( dy/dx )) * (X – x).
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ program for find curve// at given point#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;// function for find normalvoid findNormal(int A, int x, int y){ // differentiate given equation int dif = A - x * 2; // check that point on the curve or not if (y == (2 * x - x * x)) { // if differentiate is negative if (dif < 0) cout << 0 - dif << "y = " << "x" << (0 - x) + (y * dif); else if (dif > 0) // differentiate is positive cout << dif << "y = " << "-x+" << x + dif * y; // differentiate is zero else cout << "x = " << x; } // other wise normal not found else cout << "Not possible";}// Driver codeint main(){ // declare variable int A = 2, x = 2, y = 0; // call function findNormal findNormal(A, x, y); return 0;} |

Output:
2y = x-2
Time Complexity : O(1) ,as we are not using any loop.
Auxiliary Space : O(1) ,as we are not using any extra space.
