Question
Determine the values of x for which the function $f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9$ is increasing or decreasing. Also, find the coordinates of the point on the curve $y = x^2 - 6x + 9$ where the normal is parallel to the line $y = x + 5.$

Answer

We have, $f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9$
$\therefore$ $f'(x) = 2x - 6$
Critical points $f'(x) = 0$
$⇒ 2(x - 3) = 0 $
$⇒ x = 3$
Clearly, $f'(x) > 0$ if $x > 3 f'(x) < 0$
if x < 3 Thus, f(x)
is increases in $(3,\infty),$
decreases in $(-\infty,3)$
II part:
The given equation of curves
$y = x^2 - 6x + 9 ....(i)$
$y = x + 5 ....(ii)$
Slope of (i) $\text{m}_1=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2\text{x}-6$
Slope of (ii) $\text{m}_2=1$
Given that slope of normal to (i) is parallel to (ii)
$\therefore\ \frac{-1}{2\text{x}-6}=1$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}-6=-1$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{5}{2}$ From (i)
$\text{y}=\frac{25}{4}-15+9$
$=\frac{25}{4}-6$
$=\frac{1}{4}$ Thus, the required point is
$\Big(\frac{5}{2},\frac{1}{4}\Big).$
