Find the length of the line segment joining the vertex of the parabola `y^2=4a x` and a point on the parabola where the line segment make and angle `theta` to the `x-a xi sdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the coordinate of the point on the parabola be B`(x_1,y_1)`
Let BO be the line segment
`costheta=(AO)/(OB)` and `sintheta=(y_1)/(OB)`
`:.x_1=OBcostheta ` and `y_1=OBsintheta`
