Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the locus of the midpoint of the family of chords given by the equation \( \lambda x + y = 5 \) of the parabola \( x^2 = 20y \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation of the chord The equation of the family of chords can be rewritten as: \[ \lambda x + y - 5 = 0 \] This can be considered as a line \( L_1 \) where \( L_1 = \lambda x + y - 5 \) and \( L_2 = 0 \). ...
