Let the tangent to the parabola y2=12x at the point 3, α be perpendicular to the line 2x+2y=3. Then the square of distance of the point 6, -4 from the normal to the hyperbola α2x2-9y2=9α2 at its point α-1, α+2 is equal to .............

Solution

Given,

The tangent to the parabola y2=12x at the point 3, α be perpendicular to the line 2x+2y=3

So, Slope of tangent =1=6αα=6
So, equation of hyperbola will be,

36x2-9y2=324

x29-y236=1
Now equation of tangent at 5,8 will be,

5x9-8y36=1

5x-2y=9
So, slope of normal=-25
Now finding, equation of normal y-8=-25x-5
5y-40=-2x+10

5y+2x=50 

Now finding,distance from 6, -4, we get,
=12-20-5029=5829

=229

Hence, 2292=116
