Normal AO, A1, A2 drawn to the parabola y^2=8x from the point A(h,0) if triangle OA1A2 is equilateral triangle then possible values of h is
Dear Student,
Given that,
Equation of Parabola,
a =2
Therefore,
Slope of
That is = (Parametric Form)
Hence, t =
Now, we have to find the equation of the normal from point
The equation of a normal in parametric form is;
Also, point (h,0) lies on this eqation,
Therefore, by putting values of a=2, t=, x = h and y = 0
We get 0 + h = 2*4*3 + 2*2
h = 24+4
h=28
