If a tangent to the parabola `y^2 = 4ax` meets the axis of the parabola in `T` and the tangent at the vertex `A` in `Y,` and the rectangle `TAYG` is completed, show that the locus of `G` is `y^2 + ax = 0.`

Text Solution

equation of parabola
`y^2=4ax`
`ty=x+at^2`
put x=0
`ty=at^2`
`y=at`
p(0,at)
Put y=0
