To solve the problem of finding the sum of the intercepts cut off by the normals from a point \( P(h, k) \) to the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Parabola and Normal Equation**: The equation of the parabola is given by \( y^2 = 4ax \). The equation of the normal to the parabola at a point can be expressed as: \[ y = mx - 2am - am^3 ...
