To find the locus of the centroid of triangle ABC with vertices A, B, and C where B is fixed at (1, 2) and A and C lie on the parabola \(y^2 = 4x\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Points on the Parabola The parabola \(y^2 = 4x\) can be parametrized using a variable \(T\). Any point on the parabola can be represented as: \[ A(T_1) = (T_1^2, 2T_1) \quad \text{and} \quad C(T_2) = (T_2^2, 2T_2) \] where \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are parameters corresponding to points A and C, respectively. ...
