If three normals are drawn from the point& to the parabola~ and two of which are perpendicular, then the value of~ is equal to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Equation of the normal in slope form is which passes through \left(c, 0\right)⇒ 0 = mc - 2m - m^{3}⇒ m^{3} + \left(2 - c\right)m = 0⇒ m = 0~or&m^{2} + \left(2 - c\right) = 0⇒ {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = \dfrac{2 - c}{1} = - 1⇒ c = 3
