Parabola

If y = mx + c is the normal at a point on the parabola y² = 8x whose focal distance is 8 units, then $$\left| c \right|$$ is equal to :

Tangent and normal are drawn at P(16, 16) on the parabola y² = 16x, which intersect the axis of the parabola at A and B, respectively. If C is the centre of the circle through the points P, A and B and $$\angle$$CPB = $$\theta$$, then a value of tan$$\theta$$ is :

If the parabolas y² = 4b(x – c) and y² = 8ax have a common normal, then which on of the following is a valid choice for the ordered triad (a, b, c)?

The area (in sq. units) of the smaller of the two circles that touch the parabola, y^2 = 4x at the point (1, 2) and the x-axis is :-

If the three normals drawn to the parabola, y² = 2x pass through the point (a, 0) a $$\ne$$ 0, then 'a' must be greater than :

Let the tangent to the parabola S : y² = 2x 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 PQR is equal to :

A tangent and a normal are drawn at the point P(2, $$-$$4) on the parabola y² = 8x, which meet the directrix of the parabola at the points A and B respectively. If Q(a, b) is a point such that AQBP is a square, then 2a + b is equal to :

Consider the parabola with vertex $$\left( {{1 \over 2},{3 \over 4}} \right)$$ and the directrix $$y = {1 \over 2}$$. Let P be the point where the parabola meets the line $$x = - {1 \over 2}$$. If the normal to the parabola at P intersects the parabola again at the point Q, then (PQ)² is equal to :

Let the normal at the point on the parabola y² = 6x pass through the point (5, $$-$$8). If the tangent at P to the parabola intersects its directrix at the point Q, then the ordinate of the point Q is :

If $$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k})$$ be a point on the parabola $$x=4 y^{2}$$, which is nearest to the point $$\mathrm{Q}(0,33)$$, then the distance of $$\mathrm{P}$$ from the directrix of the parabola $$\quad y^{2}=4(x+y)$$ is equal to :
