Prove that on the axis of any parabola there is a certain point K which has the property that, if a chord PQ of the parabola be drawn through it, then
If it would be valid for standard parabola than it would be valid for all parabolas. Thus, proving for
let the point K be (c,0)
Equation of line PQ using parametric coordinates:
From equation 1 and 2:
Using Equation 3 and
Roots of this quadratic
From Equation 4,
We know,
As value of
I've seen the correct solution but I wanted to know why this solution is incorrect?
