To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to analyze the given conditions and derive the equation of the curve. ### Step 1: Understand the given conditions We have a point \( P(x, y) \) on the curve. The normal to the curve at this point meets the x-axis at point \( G \). The distance from the origin to point \( G \) is twice the abscissa (x-coordinate) of point \( P \).
