Let P(α,β)P(\alpha, \beta) be a point on the parabola y2=4xy^2=4 x . If PP also lies on the chord of the parabola x2=8yx^2=8 y whose mid point is (1,54)\left(1, \frac{5}{4}\right) , then (α−28)(β−8)(\alpha-28)(\beta-8) is equal to _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Parabola is x2=8yx^2=8 y

Chord with mid point (x1,y1)\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right) is T=S1\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{S}_1

amp;∴xx1−4(y+y1)=x12−8y1amp;∴(x1,y1)=(1,54)amp;⇒x−4(y+54)=1−8×54=−9\begin{aligned}& \therefore \mathrm{xx}_1-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{y}_1\right)=\mathrm{x}_1^2-8 \mathrm{y}_1 \\& \therefore\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)=\left(1, \frac{5}{4}\right) \\& \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\frac{5}{4}\right)=1-8 \times \frac{5}{4}=-9\end{aligned}

∴x−4y+4=0\therefore x-4 y+4=0 ...... (i)

(α,β)(\alpha, \beta) lies on (i) & also on y2=4xy^2=4 x

amp;∴α−4β+4=0 .... (ii)amp;& β2=4α .... (iii)\begin{aligned}& \therefore \alpha-4 \beta+4=0 \text{ .... (ii)} \\& \& ~\beta^2=4 \alpha \text{ .... (iii)}\end{aligned}

Solving (ii) & (iii)

amp;β2=4(4β−4)⇒β2−16β+16=0amp;∴β=8±43 and α=4β−4=28±163amp;∴(α,β)=(28+163,8+43)&(28−163,8−43)amp;∴(α−28)(β−8)=(±163)(±43)amp;=192\begin{aligned}& \beta^2=4(4 \beta-4) \Rightarrow \beta^2-16 \beta+16=0 \\& \therefore \beta=8 \pm 4 \sqrt{3} \text { and } \alpha=4 \beta-4=28 \pm 16 \sqrt{3} \\& \therefore(\alpha, \quad \beta) \quad=\quad(28+16 \sqrt{3}, 8+4 \sqrt{3}) \quad \& \\& (28-16 \sqrt{3}, 8-4 \sqrt{3}) \\& \therefore(\alpha-28)(\beta-8)=( \pm 16 \sqrt{3})( \pm 4 \sqrt{3}) \\& =192\end{aligned}
