Question:medium

If the line \[ 2x+y=7 \] touches the curve \[ y=f(x) \] at \[ x=\frac12, \] then the sum of the lengths of the normal and subnormal is

Show Hint

If the tangent at a point has slope \(m\) and the point is \((x,y)\), then \[ \boxed{\text{Length of normal}=y\sqrt{1+m^2}} \] and \[ \boxed{\text{Length of subnormal}=|my|.} \]
