Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 3

Which one of the following equations represents parametrically, parabolic profile ?

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 3

x2 − 2 = −2cost
⇒ x2 = 2 − 2cost
⇒x2 = 2(1−cost)
⇒x2 = 2(1−(1−2sin2 t/2))
⇒x2 = 4sin2 t/2
We have y = 4cos2 t/2
⇒cos2 t/2= y/4
We know the identity, sin2 t/2 + cos2 t/2 = 1
⇒ x2/4 + y/4 = 1
⇒ x2 = 4−y represents a parabolic profile.

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 4

If (t2, 2t) is one end of a focal chord of the parabola y2 = 4x then the length of the focal chord will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 4

Given (t2 , 2t) be one end of focal chord then other end be (1/t2 , −2t )

Length of focal chord = [(t2 - 1/t2)2 + (2t + t/2)2]½

= ( t + 1/t)2

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 5

From the focus of the parabola y2 = 8x as centre, a circle is described so that a common chord of the curves is equidistant from the vertex and focus of the parabola. The equation of the circle is

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 5

Focus of parabola y2 = 8x is (2,0). Equation of circle with centre (2,0) is (x−2)2 + y2 = r2
Let AB is common chord and Q is mid point i.e. (1,0)
AQ2 = y2 = 8x
= 8×1 = 8
∴ r2 = AQ2 + QS2
= 8 + 1 = 9
So required circle is (x−2)2 + y2 = 9

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 6

The point of intersection of the curves whose parametric equations are x = t2 + 1, y = 2t and x = 2s, y = 2/s is given by

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 6

For intersection of both the curve we must have,

Therefore, the point of intersection is (2,2)(2,2)
Hence, option 'B' is correct.

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 7

PN is an ordinate of the parabola y2 = 4ax. A straight line is drawn parallel to the axis to bisect NP and meets the curve in Q. NQ meets the tangent at the vertex in a point T such that AT = kNP, then the value of k is (where A is the vertex)

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 7

The equation of parabola be y2=4ax
let the point P be (at2,2at)
PN is ordinate ⇒N(at2,0)
Equation of straight line bisecting NP is
y=at
substituting y in equation of parabola
a2t2 = 4ax
⇒x = 4at2
So the coordinates of Q are (4at2 ,at)
Equation of NQ is y−0 = (at−0)/(at2/4 - at2)(x−at2)
y= −4/3t(x−at2)
Put x=0
y = −4/3t(0−at^2)
⇒y=4at/3
⇒AT = 4at/3​
NP = 2at
AT/NP = (4at/3)/2at
= ⅔
AT = 2/3NP

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 9

Let the point be (h, k)

Now equation of tangent to the parabola y= 4ax whose slope is m is

as it passes through (h, k)]

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 10

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 12

The equation of the tangent at the vertex of the parabola x2 + 4x + 2y = 0 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 12

The Equation of tangent at vertex to parabola x2+4x+2y=0 is :
x2+4x+2y+4−4=0
(x+2)2 = −2(y−2)
x2=−2y
Equation of tangent at vertex is y=0
y−2=0
y=2

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 13

Locus of the point of intersection of the perpendicular tangents of the curve y2 + 4y – 6x – 2 = 0 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 13

Given parabola is, y2+4y−6x−2=0
⇒ y2+4y+4=6x+6=6(x+1)
⇒ (y+2)2 = 6(x+1)
shifting origin to (−1,−2)
Y= 4aX  where a = 3/2
We know locus of point of intersection of perpendicular tangent is directrix of the parabola itself
Hence required locus is X=−a ⇒ x+1=−3/2
⇒ 2x+5=0

Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 14

Tangents are drawn from the points on the line x – y + 3 = 0 to parabola y2 = 8x. Then the variable chords of contact pass through a fixed point whose coordinates are

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 14

Let (k,k+3) be the point on the line x−y+3=0
Equation of chord of contact is S1=0
⇒yy1=4(x+x1)
⇒y(k+3)=4(x+k)
⇒4x−3y−k(y−4)=0
Therefore, straight line passes through fixed point (3,4)

The line 4x – 7y + 10 = 0 intersects the parabola, y2 = 4x at the points A & B. The co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the tangents drawn at the points A & B are

Detailed Solution for Test: Parabola- 2 - Question 15

ky=[4(x+h)]/2
=> 2ky=2(x+h)
2ky=4x+4h  =>4x−2ky+4h=0
4x−7y+10=0
4h=10  => h=5/2
2k=7 => k=7/2
point of intersection of tan⁡gent at p and q is (5/2,7/2)
