Question

If a tangent of y2 = ax made angle of 450 with the x-axis, then its point of contact will be

Solution

Correct option is

         y2 = ax                          … (1)

Tangent any point (x1y1) is

      

or  ax – 2yy1 + ax1 = 0        ... (2)

But (1) y2 = ax its any tangent is

           

Here, 

       4x – 4y + = 0        … (3)

Compare (1) and (2),
