Let y=mx+c,m>0y = mx + c, m > 0 be the focal chord of y2=−64x{y}^{2} = - 64x, which is tangent to (x+10)2+y2=4( x + 10{)}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 4. Then, the value of 42(m+c)4\sqrt{2} ( m + c ) is equal to______

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

We have,

y2=−64x{y}^{2} = - 64x

Coordinates of focus of parabola is : \left(- 16, 0\right)</p><p></p><p>y = mx + cisfocalchord,henceis focal chord, hence

⇒c=16m...(1)⇒ c = 16m . . . \left(1\right)

y=mx+cy = mx + c is tangent to (x+10)2+y2=4( x + 10{)}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 4, therefore</p><p></p><p>y = m \left(x + 10\right)±21+m2\pm 2\sqrt{1 + {m}^{2}}

⇒c=10m±21+m2⇒ c = 10m \pm 2\sqrt{1 + {m}^{2}}

⇒16m=10m±21+m2⇒ 16m = 10m \pm 2\sqrt{1 + {m}^{2}}

⇒6m=21+m2,(m>0)⇒ 6m = 2\sqrt{1 + {m}^{2}}, \left(m > 0\right)

⇒9m2=1+m2⇒ 9{m}^{2} = 1 + {m}^{2}

⇒m=122 and  c=82⇒ m = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \text{\text{ and } } c = \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{2}}

Then,</p><p></p><p>4\sqrt{2}\left(m + c\right) = 4\sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{17}{2\sqrt{2}}\right) = 34
