If two tangents drawn from a point P to the parabola y2=16(x-3) are at right angles, then the locus of point P is:
  1. x+4=0
  2. x+2=0
  3. x+3=0
  4. x+1=0

Solution

If two tangents drawn from a point P to the parabola y2=16(x-3) are at right angles.

Given the equation of parabola y2=16(x-3)

Then, the locus point is P

Locus is directrix of parabola is x+a=0
x-3+4=0

x+1=0
