The locus of the trisection point of any arbitrary double ordinate of the parabola x 2 = 4 y , is

Options

  1. A9 x 2 = y
  2. B3 x 2 = 2 y
  3. C9 x 2 = 4 y
  4. D9 x 2 = 2 y

Correct answer

C. 9 x 2 = 4 y

Step-by-step solution

Let A ≡ 2 t , t 2 , B ≡ - 2 t , t 2 be the extremities on the double ordinate A B . Let C h , k be it’s trisection point, then 6 h = 4 t and k = t 2 ⇒ t = 3 h 2 , t 2 = k ⇒ k = 9 h 2 4 Thus, locus of C is 9 x 2 = 4 y
