To find the coordinates of the other end of the focal chord of the parabola given by the equation \( y^2 = 4ax \), where one end of the focal chord is given as \( (at^2, 2at) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the focal chord A focal chord of a parabola is a line segment that passes through the focus of the parabola and has its endpoints on the parabola. For the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \), the focus is at the point \( (a, 0) \). ### Step 2: Identify the coordinates of the given point The coordinates of one end of the focal chord are given as \( (at^2, 2at) \). ...
