The curve C is given by the equation

xy=2ln(xy)

The line y=x intersects with C at the point A.

Find the equation of the normal to C at A, giving your answer in the form

ax+by+c=0,a,b,cZ

where a>0 and a,b,c are coprime.


To find A, substitute y=x into the equation of C and solve.


When differentiating the right hand side, you need to use the chain rule followed by the product rule when differentiating xy.
