If a focal chord of the parabola \(y^2=4 x\) makes an angle \(45^{\circ}\) with positive \(\mathrm{X}\)-axis, then the slopes of the normals drawn at the ends of the focal chord will satisfy the equation

  1. A \(x^2-2 x-1=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+2 x-1=0\)
  3. C \(x^2-1=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+2 x-2=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+2 x-1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a=1\) \(t_1 t_2 = -1\) \(\frac{2a(t_2-t_1)}{a(t_2^2-t_1^2)} = \tan 45^{\circ}\) \(\frac{2}{t_1+t_2} = 1 \implies t_1+t_2 = 2\) \(m_1 = -t_1, m_2 = -t_2\) \(m_1+m_2 = -(t_1+t_2) = -2\) \(m_1 m_2 = (-t_1)(-t_2) = t_1 t_2 = -1\) \(x^2 - (m_1+m_2)x + m_1m_2 = 0\)…
