To solve the problem, we need to show that \( \frac{1}{SP} + \frac{1}{SQ} \) is independent of \( t \), where \( P \) and \( Q \) are points with given coordinates and \( S \) is a point with given coordinates. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordinates:** - The coordinates of point \( P \) are \( (at^2, 2at) \). - The coordinates of point \( Q \) are \( \left(\frac{a}{t^2}, \frac{2a}{t}\right) \). - The coordinates of point \( S \) are \( (a, 0) \). ...
