Consider the parabola `y^2 = 8x.` Let `Delta_1` be the area of the triangle formed by the end points of its latus rectum and the point P(`1/2`,2) on the parabola and `Delta_2` be the area of the triangle formed by drawing tangents at P and at the end points of latus rectum. `Delta_1/Delta_2` is :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
As, we have area of` Delta` formed by three points on parabola is twice the arae of `Delta` formed by corresponding tangents i.e., of `Delta PQR = 2` area of
`Delta T_(1) T_(2) T_(3)`.
`:. Delta_(1) = 2 Delta_(2)` or `(Delta_(1))/(Delta_(2)) = 2`
