OP Malhotra Class-11 Parabola S.Chand ISC Maths Solution

Parabola

Section of a right circular cone by a plane parallel to a generator of the cone is a parabola. It is a locus of a point, which moves so that distance from a fixed point (focus) is equal to the distance from a fixed line (directrix)

  • Fixed point is called focus
  • Fixed line is called directrix

Standard Equation of Parabola

The simplest equation of a parabola is y= x when the directrix is parallel to the y-axis. In general, if the directrix is parallel to the y-axis in the standard equation of a parabola is given as:

y2 = 4ax

If the parabola is sideways i.e., the directrix is parallel to x-axis, the standard equation of a parabole becomes,

x2 = 4ay

Apart from these two, the equation of a parabola can also be y2 = 4ax and x2 = 4ay if the parabola is in the negative quadrants. Thus, the four equations of a parabola are given as:

  1. y2 = 4ax
  2. y2 = – 4ax
  3. x2 = 4ay
  4. x2 = – 4ay

Parametric co-ordinates of Parabola:

For a parabola, the equation is y2 = -4ax. Now, to represent the co-ordinates of a point on the parabola, the easiest form will be = atand y = 2at as for any value of “t”, the coordinates (at2, 2at) will always satisfy the parabola equation i.e. y2 = 4ax. So,

Any point on the parabola

y2 = 4ax (at2, 2at)

Parabola

A parabola is the set of points P whose distances from a fixed point F in the plane are equal to their distance from a fixed line l in the plane. The fixed point F is called focus and the fixed line l is the directrix of the parabola.

Main Facts About the Parabola

Forms of parabola y2= 4ax y2 = -4ax x2 = 4ay x2 = -4ay
Axis of parabola y = 0 y = 0 x = 0 x = 0
Directrix of parabola x = -a x = a y = -a y = a
Vertex (0, 0) (0, 0) (0, 0) (0, 0)
Focus (a, 0) (-a, 0) (0, a) (0, -a)
Length of latus rectum 4a 4a 4a 4a
Focal length |x + a| |x – a| |y + a| |y – a|

Parametric Equations of the Parabola y2 = 4ax

The parametric equations of the parabola y2 = 4ax are x = at2 , y = 2at , where I is the parameter. Since the point (at2, 2at) satisfies the equation y2 = 4ax, therefore the parametric coordinates of any point on the parabola are (at2, 2at).

Also, the point (at2 , 2at) is referred to as the parametric point on the parabola.

Relation between a parabola and a line

Let the parabola be y2 = 4ax and the given line be y = mx + c. Solving the line and parabola, we get

(mx + C)= 4ax

i.e., m2x2 + 2(cm-2a) x + c2 = 0

Above equation being a quadratic in x

Since, the discriminant = 4 (cm – 2a)– 4m2 c = 16a (a-mc)

Hence the line intersects the parabola in 2 distinct points if a > mc , in one point if a = mc , and does not intersect if a < cm.

y = mx + a/m touches the parabola.

Hence, y=mx+ a/m, m≠0 touches the parabola y2 = 4ax at ( a/m2 , 2a/m )
