Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, a parabola y2=16xy^2=16 x

Let F(x0,y0)=(4t2,8t)\mathrm{F}\left(x_0, y_0\right)=\left(4 t^2, 8 t\right)

⇒x0=4t2,y0=8t\Rightarrow \quad x_0=4 t^2, y_0=8 t

Equation of tangent at F is ty=x+4t2t y=x+4 t^2

JEE Advanced 2013 Paper 2 Offline Mathematics - Parabola Question 26 English Explanation

G is the point of intersection of tangent ty=x+4t2t y=x +4 t^2 and YY -axis

∴G=(0,4t)\therefore \mathrm{G}=(0,4 t)

Given, G=(0,y1)\mathrm{G}=\left(0, y_1\right)

∴y1=4t\therefore \quad y_1=4 t

Let Δ\Delta be the area of Δ\Delta EGF

amp;⇒Δ=124t2⋅(3−y1)amp;⇒Δ=2t2(3−4t)amp;⇒dΔdt=12t−24t2=0 at t=0,12amp;⇒d2Δdt2=12−48tlt;0 at t=12\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow \quad \Delta=\frac{1}{2} 4 t^2 \cdot\left(3-y_1\right) \\& \Rightarrow \quad \Delta=2 t^2(3-4 t) \\& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta}{d t}=12 t-24 t^2=0 \text { at } t=0, \frac{1}{2} \\& \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 \Delta}{d t^2}=12-48 t<0 \text { at } t=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}

Hence, Δ\Delta is maximum at t=12t=\frac{1}{2}

∴Δmax⁡=12,y0=8t=4,y1=4t=2\therefore \quad \Delta_{\max }=\frac{1}{2}, y_0=8 t=4, y_1=4 t=2

Given, y=mx+3y=m x+3 intersect the parabola y2=16xy^2=16 x at F(4t2,8t)\mathrm{F}\left(4 t^2, 8 t\right)

∴8t=4mt2+3\therefore 8 t=4 m t^2+3

Put t=12t=\frac{1}{2}

amp;⇒4=m+3amp;⇒m=1\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow \quad 4=m+3 \\& \Rightarrow m=1\end{aligned}

Hints :

(i) dydx=0\frac{d y}{d x}=0 at x=αx=\alpha and \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}<0 at x=αx=\alpha , then the function has point of local maxima at x=ax=a .

(ii) The parametric point of the parabola y2=4axy^2= 4 a x is (at2,2at)\left(a t^2, 2 a t\right)

(iii) The equation of tangent of parabola y2=4axy^2=4 a x at (at2,2at)\left(a t^2, 2 a t\right) is ty=x+at2t y=x+a t^2 .
