This is question 19 from 9I Cambridge Maths Year 11 extension 1 text.

P is a variable point on the parabola x^2 = 4y. The normal at P meets the parabola again
at Q. The tangents at P and Q meet at T. S is the focus and QS = 2PS.

i) Prove that angle PSQ = 90 degrees
ii) prove PQ=PT

I feel it is much simpler than I think but would happily appreciate someone show that for me
