Let A be the focus of the parabola \(y^{2}=8x.\) Let the line \(y=mx+c\) intersect the parabola at two distinct points B and C. If the centroid of the triangle ABC is \((\frac{7}{3},\frac{4}{3})\) , then \((BC)^{2}\) is equal to:

  1. A 41
  2. B 80
  3. C 89
  4. D 32
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 80

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coordinates of centroid of triangle ABC are \(\frac{2}{3}(t_{1}^{2}+t_{2}^{2}+1)=\frac{7}{3}\Rightarrow t_{1}^{2}+t_{2}^{2}=\frac{5}{2}\) \(\frac{4}{3}(t_{1}+t_{2})=\frac{4}{3}\Rightarrow t_{1}+t_{2}=1\)…
