The ordinates of the points PP and QQ on the parabola with focus (3,0)( 3, 0 ) and directrix x=−3x = - 3 are in the ratio
3:13: 1. If R(α,β)R ( \alpha, \beta ) is the point of intersection of the tangents to the parabola at PP and QQ, then β2α\dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{\alpha} is equal toThe ordinates of the points P and Q on the parabola with focus ( 3, 0 ) and directrix x = - 3 are in the ratio 3: 1 .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

Focus (3,0)( 3, 0 ), Directrix, x=−3x = - 3

So, the equation of parabola will be, y2=12x{y}^{2} = 12x

Now taking the parametric point (3t2,6t)\left(3{t}^{2}, 6t\right) and plotting the diagram we get,
The ordinates of the points P and Q on the parabola with focus ( 3, 0 ) and directrix x = - 3 are in the ratio 3: 1 .
Now we know that R(α,β)R ( \alpha, \beta ) will be the aithematic mean of ordinate and geometric mean of abscissa
will be,

Hence, β=6(t1+t2)2andα=3t12×3t22=3t1t2\beta = \dfrac{6\left({t}_{1} + {t}_{2}\right)}{2} and \alpha = \sqrt{3{{t}_{1}}^{2} \times 3{{t}_{2}}^{2}} = 3{t}_{1}{t}_{2}

So, putting the value in β2α\dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{\alpha}, ⇒β2α=9(t1+t2)23t1t2=9(4t2)23×3t22=16(∵6t16t2=3,given)⇒ \dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{\alpha} = \dfrac{9{\left({t}_{1} + {t}_{2}\right)}^{2}}{3{t}_{1}{t}_{2}} = \dfrac{9{\left(4{t}_{2}\right)}^{2}}{3 \times 3{{t}_{2}}^{2}} = 16\left(∵ \dfrac{6{t}_{1}}{6{t}_{2}} = 3, given\right)
