We know that the formula for the curvature is κ(x)=y(x)(1+(y(x))2)32\color{#4257b2}\boxed{ \kappa(x)=\left|\frac{y^{\prime\prime}(x)}{\left(1+\left(y^{\prime}(x)\right)^2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\right| }

The radius of curvature of a curve y=f(x)y=f(x) at the point (p,q)(p,q) is given by R=1κ(p)\color{#4257b2} R=\dfrac{1}{\kappa(p)}
