Can someone please help me with these questions ?
a) Prove that the line x-2y-2=0 is a tangent to the parabola x^2=16y.
b) Given the parabola x^2 = 1/2, for what values of m does the line y= m(x+1):
i) have 2 points of intersection ?
ii) one point of intersection?
iii) no points of...
can someone please help me with this question???
a secant which passes through the point ( 0,-a), cuts the parabola x2 = 4ay at P, Q with parameters p,q
If S is the focus show that 1 / PS + 1/ QS= 1/a
