Question

Let F be the focus of the parabola y2 = 4ax and M be the foot of perpendicular from point P(at2, 2at) on the tangent at the vertex. If N is a point on the tangent at P then fraction numerator M N over denominator F N end fraction equals -

  1. fraction numerator t to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator t to the power of 2 end exponent plus 1 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator t to the power of 2 end exponent plus 1 over denominator t to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction    
  3. 1    
  4. none of these    

hintHint:

Find the co-ordinates of F ,M and assume the any point N on tangent and Find the length of MN and FN in terms of t to find the ratio in terms of t.

The correct answer is: fraction numerator t to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator t to the power of 2 end exponent plus 1 end fraction


    Let F be the focus of the parabola y2 = 4ax and M be the foot of perpendicular from point P(at2, 2at) on the tangent at the vertex. N is a point on the tangent at P.
    F(a,0) and tangent at vertex is x = 0. and P(at2,2at) then foot of perpendicular M is (0,2at)
    N is any point on tangent let N = P as Point P also lies on tangent.
    Then, MN = at2 and
