Solving exercise 6.3 Class 12 Maths will be beneficial for both the CBSE board exam and JEE Main exam.
One question from NCERT solutions for Class 12 Maths chapter 6 exercise 6.3 can be expected for the CBSE Class 12 Maths board paper.
The applications of tangents will be used in Class 12 Physics and Chemistry also.
Also see-
y-y0=f’(x0)(x-x0)
(y-y0)f’(x0)+(x-x0)=0
The slope =0. Therefore the equation of tangent is y=y0

Normal is perpendicular to the tangent
The slope of normal is the negative of the inverse of the slope of the tangent.
