Let x=2tx = 2t , y=t23y = {{{t^2}} \over 3} be a conic. Let S be the focus and B be the point on the axis of the conic such that SA⊥BASA \bot BA , where A is any point on the conic. If k is the ordinate of the centroid of the Δ\Delta SAB, then lim⁡t→1k\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 1} k is equal to :

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

x=2t, y=23x = 2t,\,y = {2 \over 3}

t→1   A≡(2,13)t \to 1\,\,\,A \equiv \left( {2,{1 \over 3}} \right)

Given conic is x2=12y⇒S≡(0,3){x^2} = 12y \Rightarrow S \equiv (0,3)

Let B≡(0,β)B \equiv (0,\beta )

Given SA ⊥ BASA\, \bot \,BA

(132−3)(β−13−2)=−1\left( {{{{1 \over 3}} \over {2 - 3}}} \right)\left( {{{\beta - {1 \over 3}} \over { - 2}}} \right) = - 1

⇒(β−13)13=−2\Rightarrow \left( {\beta - {1 \over 3}} \right){1 \over 3} = - 2

⇒β=13(−173)\Rightarrow \beta = {1 \over 3}\left( {{{ - 17} \over 3}} \right)

Ordinate of centroid(as t→1)=k=β+13+33\mathop {Ordinate\,of\,centroid}\limits_{(as\,t \to 1)} = k = {{\beta + {1 \over 3} + 3} \over 3}

=−179+1033=1318= {{{{ - 17} \over 9} + {{10} \over 3}} \over 3} = {{13} \over {18}}
