If \(P\) is a point on the parabola \(y^2=8 x\) and \(A\) is the point \((1,0)\), then the locus of the mid-point of the line segment \(A P\) is

  1. A \(y^2=4\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
  2. B \(y^2=2(2 x+1)\)
  3. C \(y^2=x-\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(y^2=2 x+1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(y^2=4\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P\) be a point on parabola \(y^2=8 x\) whose coordinates are \(\left(2 t^2, 4 t\right)\) and \(A\) is the point \((1,0)\). Let \((x, y)\) be the mid-point of \(P\left(2 t^2, 4 t\right)\) and \(A(1,0)\).…
