Let \(\alpha_1\) and \(\alpha_2\) be the ordinates of two points \(A\) and \(B\) on a parabola \(y^2=4 a x\) and let \(\alpha_3\) be the ordinate of the point of intersection of its tangents at \(A\) and \(B\). Then, \(\alpha_3-\alpha_2=\)

  1. A \(\alpha_3-\alpha_1\)
  2. B \(\alpha_3+\alpha_1\)
  3. C \(\alpha_1\)
  4. D \(\alpha_1-\alpha_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\alpha_1-\alpha_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ordinate of point of intersection of tangents at \(A\) and \(B\) whose ordinates are \(\alpha_1\) and \(\alpha_2\) is \(\frac{\alpha_1+\alpha_2}{2}\), So,…
