The ordinates of the feet of three normals to the parabola `y^2=4ax` from the point (6a, 0) are

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We need to draw three normals from the point `(6a,0)` on the parabola `y^2 = 4ax` `Eqn.` of normal in parametric form: `y = -tx + 2at + at^3` This will pass from `(6a,0)`, so it will satisfy the above equation. `rArr 0 = -t*6a + 2at + at^3` `rArr at^3 - 4at = 0` `rArr at(t^2 - 4) = 0` `rArr t = 0 or t = pm 2` ...
