Question

The point of intersection of tangents at the ends of the latus rectum of the parabola y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4 x text  is equal to end text

  1. (1, 0)    
  2. (−1, 0)    
  3. (0, 1)    
  4. (0, −1)    

The correct answer is: (−1, 0)


    See Fig. 13.66. The equation of the tangent at open parentheses x subscript 1 end subscript comma y subscript 1 end subscript close parentheses on the parabola y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4 a x text  is end text
    y y subscript 1 end subscript equals 2 a open parentheses x plus x subscript 1 end subscript close parentheses
    Therefore, in this case, a = 1. The coordinates at the ends of the latus rectum of the parabola y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4 x text  are  end text L left parenthesis 12 right parenthesis
    L subscript 1 end subscript left parenthesis 1 comma negative 2 right parenthesis text  . The equation of tangent at  end text L text  and  end text L subscript 1 end subscript text  are  end text 2 y equals 2 left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis
    text and  end text minus 2 y equals 2 left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis comma text  which gives  end text x equals negative 1 comma y equals 0 text  . Thus, the end text
    text required point of intersection is  end text left parenthesis negative 10 right parenthesis text  . end text
