Question 1107252: Hi I recently received this question from a peer and I am unable to solve it due to the challenging wording. Could anyone please aid me in this question along with some working. Attempted the question and final answer was y= 9x-16 so could anyone please attempt and show working to see if my answer is correct. Question is:
Find an question of each normal line to the curve y= x^3 - 3x that is parallel to the line 2x+18y-9=0

    "Find an question of each normal line to the curve y= x^3 - 3x that is parallel to the line 2x+18y-9=0"

As written and presented, this phrase and this combination of words IS NOT mathematically correct statement.

It does not carry or bring or conclude any mathematical or any other sense.

        Not every set of word is a mathematical sentence.


As to me, it recalls me the sheet of paper with the note that was recovered from the shark's stomach in the novel 
by Julie Verne "The children of captain Grant", if you read it . . . 


Now, like a geographer Paganel from that novel, I can offer the way to partly decipher it:


    "Find an highlight%28cross%28question%29%29 equation of highlight%28cross%28each%29%29 the normal line to the curve y= x^3 - 3x that is parallel to the line 2x+18y-9=0"


It is not 100% decifering yet, but at least one step to . . .
