Question

Vikas TU · Answer

Let point on parabola be P(at^2, 2at) and S(a, 0) also SPM is equilateral triangle M is foot of perpendicular from point on parabola to directrix ∴ M is (– a, 2at) Now SPM is equilateral triangle
SP = PM = SM
SM^2 = PM^2
(a+a)^2 + (-2at)^2 = (at^2+a)^2
t^4 -2t^2 -3 = 0
t = sqrt(3)
SP = 4a,
Hope this will help
Good Luck

Arun · Answer

SP = PM = SM SM^2 = PM^2 (a+a)^2 + (-2at)^2 = (at^2+a)^2 t^4 -2t^2 -3 = 0 t = sqrt(3) SP = 4a, Hence option C is correct
