AP EAMCET2011MathematicsParabola
If the straight line y=m x+c is parallel to the axis of the parabola y^2=l x and intersects the parabola at ( c^2 8 , c ) , then the length of the latusrectum is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C4
- D8
Correct answer
D. 8
Step-by-step solution
Here, length of latusrectum =l Since, point ( c^2 8 , c ) is the point of intersection of parabola and the line y=m x+c then it will satisfy the equations. array cc & y^2=l x & (c)^2= l c^2 8 l=8 array Length of latusrectum (l)=8
