The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the normal from point P on the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \) that is not PA or PB, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the points A and B on the parabola Given points A and B are \( A(4a, -4a) \) and \( B(9a, -6a) \). ### Step 2: Determine the parameters \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) For point A: - The coordinates can be expressed in terms of the parameter \( T_1 \) as \( (2aT_1, aT_1^2) \). - Setting \( 2aT_1 = 4a \) gives \( T_1 = 2 \). - Setting \( aT_1^2 = -4a \) gives \( T_1^2 = -4 \) (not applicable since \( T_1 \) must be real). For point B: - The coordinates can be expressed in terms of the parameter \( T_2 \) as \( (2aT_2, aT_2^2) \). - Setting \( 2aT_2 = 9a \) gives \( T_2 = 4.5 \). - Setting \( aT_2^2 = -6a \) gives \( T_2^2 = -6 \) (not applicable since \( T_2 \) must be real). ### Step 3: Calculate the values of \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) From the coordinates: - For point A, \( T_1 = -2 \) (as derived from the y-coordinate). - For point B, \( T_2 = -3 \) (as derived from the y-coordinate). ### Step 4: Find \( T_3 \) using the condition \( T_1 + T_2 + T_3 = 0 \) Substituting the values: \[ -2 - 3 + T_3 = 0 \implies T_3 = 5 \] ### Step 5: Write the equation of the normal at point P The coordinates of the point corresponding to \( T_3 \) are: \[ (2aT_3, aT_3^2) = (10a, 25a) \] The equation of the normal at point \( (10a, 25a) \) is given by: \[ y - 25a = -T_3(x - 10a) \] Substituting \( T_3 = 5 \): \[ y - 25a = -5(x - 10a) \] This simplifies to: \[ y - 25a = -5x + 50a \] Rearranging gives: \[ y + 5x - 75a = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the normal from point P on the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \) (other than PA and PB) is: \[ y + 5x - 75a = 0 \]
