  2. Parabola

  3. Definition: A parabola is defined as the locus of a point which moves so that its distance from a fixed point is always equal to its distance from a fixed line. Parabola

  4. a x y S is called the focus. M P(x,y) O x (-a,0) S(a,0) The fixed line, x=-a is called the directrix of the parabola. x=-a O is called the vertex of the parabola. Parabola

  5. Based on the definition, PS=PM This is the equation of the parabola. Parabola

  6. y y directrix is x=-a focus is (-a,0) x x 0 0 focus is (a,0) directrix is x=a Parabola

  7. y y 0 x focus is (0,a) focus is (0,-a) x 0 Parabola

  20. e.g. 5 Find the point of intersection of the tangent at the point (2,-4) to the parabola and the directrix. Given that the parabola is . Soln : Comparing with the standard eqn. We have a=2 . Eqn of tangent at (2,-4) is y(-4)=4(x+2) x+y+2=0 . Parabola

  21. Parametric equations of a parabola Parabola

  22. The equation is always satisfied by the values The parametric coordinates of any point on the curve are . Parabola

  25. A chord of a parabola is a straight line joining any two points on it and passing thru’ the focus S. Y F X O Parabola

  26. The focal chord perpendicular to the axis of the parabola is called the latus rectum. Half the latus rectum is the semi-latus rectum. Parabola

  27. e.g. 6 Find the length of the latus rectum of the locus . Soln: Focus is (6,0) When x=6, y=12 or -12 Hence, latus rectum=24. Parabola

  28. e.g. 7 A focal chord is drawn thru’ the point on the parabola . Find the coordinates of the other end of the chord. Parabola

  29. Soln: Let the coordinates of Q be . y P Gradient of PF=gradient of FQ x F(a,0) 0 Q But n-t≠0 Parabola

  30. Hence, the coordinates of Q are . Note : The product of the parameters of the points at the extremities of a focal chord of a parabola is -1. What? Parabola

  31. Tangent and Normal at the point to the parabola . Parabola

  32. At the point , Equation of tangent at this point is : Parabola

  34. Equation of a tangent in terms of its gradient Parabola

  35. The equation of the tangent at to the parabola , is Writing the gradient 1/t, as m, this equation becomes : i.e. Parabola

  36. We have Therefore , the point of contact of the tangent is . Parabola

  37. Remember this : For all values of m, the straight line is a tangent to the parabola . Parabola

  38. e.g. 8 Find the equations of the tangents from the point (2,3) to the parabola . Soln: We known, a=1 Parabola
