Which of the following represents a parabola?
Suppose a parabola passes through $(0,4),(1,9)$ and $(4,5)$ and has its axis parallel to the $Y$-axis. Then, the equation of the parabola is
Suppose a parabola with focus at $(0,0)$ has $x-y+1=0$ as its tangent at the vertex. Then, the equation of its directrix is
If $a x+b y=1$ is a normal to the parabola $y^2=4 p x$, then the condition is
If the straight line $y = mx + c$ touches the parabola ${y^2} - 4ax + 4{a^3} = 0$, then c is
A normal is drawn at the point P to the parabola ${y^2} = 8x$, which is inclined at 60$^\circ$ with the straight line $y = 8$. Then the point P lies on the straight line
For each parabola y = x2 + px + q, meeting coordinate axes at 3-distinct points, if circles are drawn through these points, then the family of circles must pass through
parabola y2 = 16(x $-$ 3) are at right angles, then the locus of point P is :
Explanation:
P(2, $-$4) $\Rightarrow$ $-$4 = 2m + ${2 \over m}$
$\Rightarrow$ m + ${1 \over m}$ = $-$2 $\Rightarrow$ m = $-$1
$\therefore$ tangent is y = $-$x $-$2
$\Rightarrow$ x + y + 2 = 0 ...... (1)
(1) is also tangent to x2 + y2 = a
So, ${2 \over {\sqrt 2 }} = \sqrt a \Rightarrow \sqrt a = \sqrt 2 $
$\Rightarrow$ a = 2
Explanation:
Normal at point P
$tx + y = 3t + {3 \over 2}{t^3}$
Passes through $\left( {3,{3 \over 2}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow 3t + {3 \over 2} = 3t + {3 \over 2}{t^3}$
$ \Rightarrow {t^3} = 1 \Rightarrow t = 1$
$P \equiv \left( {{3 \over 2},3} \right) = (\alpha ,\beta )$
$2(\alpha + \beta ) = 2\left( {{3 \over 2} + 3} \right) = 9$
Explanation:
focus : ($-$16, 0)
y = mx + c is focal chord
$\Rightarrow$ c = 16 m ...........(1)
y = mx + c is tangent to (x + 10)2 + y2 = 4
$\Rightarrow$ y = m(x + 10) $\pm$ 2$\sqrt {1 + {m^2}} $
$\Rightarrow$ c = 10m $\pm$ 2$\sqrt {1 + {m^2}} $
$\Rightarrow$ 16m = 10m $\pm$ 2$\sqrt {1 + {m^2}} $
$\Rightarrow$ 6m = 2$\sqrt {1 + {m^2}} $ (m > 0)
$\Rightarrow$ 9m2 = 1 + m2
$\Rightarrow$ m = ${1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}$ & c = ${8 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$
$4\sqrt 2 (m + c) = 4\sqrt 2 \left( {{{17} \over {2\sqrt 2 }}} \right)$ = 34
Explanation:
Parabola : y2 = 4x
Let tangent y = mx + ${a \over m}$
y = mx + ${1 \over m}$
m2x $-$ my + 1 = 0
the above line is also tangent to circle
(x $-$ 3)2 + y2 = 9
$\therefore$ $ \bot $ from (3, 0) = 3
$\left| {{{3{m^2} - 0 + 1} \over {\sqrt {{m^2} + {m^4}} }}} \right| = 3$
(3m2 + 1)2 = 9(m2 + m4)
$6{m^2} + 1 + 9{m^4} = 9{m^2} + 9{m^4}$
$3{m^2} = 1$
$m = \pm {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$
$ \therefore $ tangent is
$y = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}x + \sqrt 3 $
(it will be used)
or
$y = - {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}x - \sqrt 3 $
(rejected)
$m = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$

For parabola
$\left( {{a \over {{m^2}}},{{2a} \over m}} \right) \equiv (3,2\sqrt 3 )$ = (c, d)
for circle $y = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}x + \sqrt 3 $
&
${(x - 3)^2} + {y^2} = 9$
Solving,
${(x - 3)^2} + {\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}x + \sqrt 3 } \right)^2} = 9$
${x^2} + 9 - 6x + {1 \over 3}{x^2} + 3 + 2x = 9$
${4 \over 3}{x^2} - 4x + 3 = 0$
$4{x^2} - 12x + 9 = 0$
$4{x^2} - 6x - 6x + 9 = 0$
$2x(2x - 3) - 3(2x - 3) = 0$
$(2x - 3)(2x - 3) = 0$
$x = {3 \over 2}$
$ \therefore $ $y = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}\left( {{3 \over 2}} \right) + \sqrt 3 $
$y = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} + \sqrt 3 $
$y = {{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
$(a,b) \equiv \left( {{3 \over 2},{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right)$
$2(a + c) = 2\left( {{3 \over 2} + 3} \right)$
$ = 2\left( {{3 \over 2} + {6 \over 2}} \right) = 9$

The origin is shifted to (1, 2). The equation y2 $-$ 8x $-$ 4y + 12 = 0 changes to y2 = 4ax, then a is equal to
