Equation of tangent to the parabola \\(y^2\\) = 9x is<\/p>\n
y = mx + \\(9\\over 4m\\)<\/p>\n
Since it passes through (4,10)<\/p>\n
\\(\\therefore\\)\u00a0 10 = 4m + \\(9\\over 4m\\) \\(\\implies\\) 16\\(m^2\\) – 40m + 9 = 0<\/p>\n
m = \\(1\\over 4\\), \\(9\\over 4\\)<\/p>\n
\\(\\therefore\\) Equation of tangent’s are y = \\(x\\over 4\\) + 9 & y = \\(9x\\over 4\\) + 1<\/p>\n
The slope of the line touching both the parabolas \\(y^2\\) = 4x and \\(x^2\\) = -32 is<\/a><\/p>\n Find the locus of middle point of the chord of the parabola \\(y^2\\) = 4ax which pass through a given (p, q).<\/a><\/p>\n The sum of the slopes of the tangent of the parabola \\(y^2\\)=4ax drawn from the point (2,3) is<\/a><\/p>\n Find the value of k for which the point (k-1, k) lies inside the parabola \\(y^2\\) = 4x.<\/a><\/p>\n
