Answer:
($y+x-1=0$)
Solution:
Formula:
- Given, $y=(1+x)^{y}+\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin ^{2} x\right)$
Let $y=u+v$, where $u=(1+x)^{y}, v=\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin ^{2} x\right)$.
On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$ \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d u}{d x}+\frac{d v}{d x} ……(i) $
Now,
$ u=(1+x)^{y} $
On taking logarithm both sides, we get
$\log _{e} u=y \log _{e}(1+x)$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{u} \frac{d u}{d x}=\frac{y}{1+x}+\frac{d y}{d x} {\log _ {e}(1+x) } \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d u}{d x}=(1+x)^{y} [\frac{y}{1+x}+\frac{d y}{d x} \log _ {e}(1+x)]……(ii) \end{aligned} $
Again, $\quad v=\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin ^{2} x\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad \sin v=\sin ^{2} x$
$\Rightarrow \quad \cos v \frac{d v}{d x}=2 \sin x \cos x$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{1}{\cos v}(2 \sin x \cos x)$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} v}}=\frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{\sqrt{1-\sin ^{4} x}} ……(iii)$
From Eq. (i),
$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x} & =(1+x)^{y} \frac{y}{1+x}+\frac{d y}{d x} \log _{e}(1+x)+\frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{\sqrt{1-\sin ^{4} x}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{y(1+x)^{y-1}+2 \sin x \cos x / \sqrt{1-\sin ^{4} x}}{1-(1+x)^{y} \log _{e}(1+x)} \end{aligned} $
At $x=0$,
$ \begin{aligned} y & =(1+0)^{y}+\sin ^{-1} \sin (0)=1 \\ \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{1(1+0)^{1-1}+2 \sin 0 \cdot \cos 0 / \sqrt{\left(1-\sin ^{4} 0\right)}}{1-(1+0)^{1} \log _{e}(1+0)} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =1 \end{aligned} $
Again, the slope of the normal is
$ m=-\frac{1}{d y / d x}=-1 $
Hence, the required equation of the normal is
$ \begin{aligned} y-1 & =(-1)(x-0) \\ \text { i.e. } \quad y+x-1 & =0 \end{aligned} $
