Since  (3,3) lies on x2a2-y2b2=1

9a2-9b2=1

Now, normal at  (3,3) is y-3=-a2b2 (x-3) ,

which passes through  (9,0)b2=2a2

So,  e2=1+b2a2=3

Also,  a2=92

(From (i) and (ii)

Thus,  a2, e2=92, 3

 x2a2+y2b2=1(ab);2b2a=10b2=5a

Now, ?(t)=512+t-t2=812-t-122
?(t)max=812=23=ee2=1-b2a2=49

a2=81 (From (i) and (ii)

So, a2+b2=81+45=126

27. Since the parabola is symmetric with respect to y-axis and has vertex (0, 0)

The equation in of the form x3 = 4ay or x2 = 4ay.

The parabola passes through (5, 2) which lies on the 1st quadrant

? The equation of parabola is of the form,

x2 = 4ay

Putting x = 5 and y = 2,

(5)2 = 4 (a) (2)

25 = 8a

a = 258

? The equation of the parabola is,

x2 = 4ay

x2=4 (258)y

x2=252y

2x2 = 25y

26. Since the axis of parabola is x-axis,

The equation parabola is either y2 = 4ax or y2 = 4ax.

Also it passes through (2, 3) which lies in the first quadrant.

So the equation is,

y2= 4ax

Putting x = 2 and y = 3, we set

(3)2 = 4 (a) (2)

a = 98

? The equation of parabola is y2 = 4 *98x

y2 = 92x

2y2 = 9x

25. Focus (-2, 0) lies on x-axis and the x-Co-ordinate is negative.

The equation must be, y2 = 4ax

Co-ordinate of focus = (–a, 0) = (–2, 0)

–a = –2

a = 2

? Equation of a parabola is,

y2 = –4 (2)x

y2 = –8x

24. Since the focus (3, 0) lies on the x-axis, the x-axis is the axis of parabola.

Hence the equation is either y2 = 4ax or y2 = –4ax

Since the focus has positive x co-ordinate,

The equation must be y2 = 4ax

Co-ordinate of focus (a, 0) = (3, 0)

a = 3

? The equation is given by

y2 = 4 (3)x

y2 = 12x

23. Since the focus (0, –3) lies on the y–axis, the y–axis is the axis of parabola.

Hence the equation is either x2 = 4ay or x2 = –4ay

Since the directrix is y = 3 and the forces (0, –3) has negative y Co–ordinate.

The equation must be

x2 = –4ay

Co–ordinate of focus = (0, –a)

(0, –a) = (0, –3)

–a = –3

a = 3

? Equation of parabola is

x2 = –4ay

x2 = –4 (3)y

x2 = –12y

22. Since the focus (6, 0) lien on the x–axis, the x–axis is the axis of parabola

Hence the equation is either y2 = 4ax or y2 = –4ax

Since the directrix is x = –6 and the focus (6, 0) has positive x – Coordinate,

The equation must be y2 = 4ax

with a = 6

Hence, equation of parabola is,

y2 = 4ax

y2 = 4 (6)x

y2 = 24x

18.  y2 = –4ax

Comparing with the given equation y2 = –8x

We get,

–4ax = –8x

a = 84=2

? Co–ordinates of focus is (–0, 0) = (–2, 0)

Axis of Parabola : x-axis.

Equation of directrix is,

x = a

x = 2

Length of latus rectum =4a

= 4 * 2 = 8
