JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

Let the tangent to the parabola \(S: y^{2}=2 x\) at the point \(P(2,2)\) meet the \(x\)-axis at \(Q\) and normal at it meet the parabola \(S\) at the point \(R\). Then the area (in \(sq.\, units\)) of the triangle \(P Q R\) is equal to:

  1. A \(25\)
  2. B \(\frac{25}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{15}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{35}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{25}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent at \(\mathrm{P}: \mathrm{y}(2)=2(1 / 2)(\mathrm{x}+2)\) \(\Rightarrow 2 y=x+2\) \(\therefore Q=(-2,0)\) Normal at \(\mathrm{P}: \mathrm{y}-2=-\frac{(2)}{2.1 / 2}(x-2)\) \(\Rightarrow y-2=-2(x-2)\) \(\Rightarrow y=6-2 x\) \(\therefore\) Solving with…
