Parabola Flashcards
eccentricity of a parabola
e=1
condition for parabola!?
PS/PM = constant = e = 1
therefore PS=PM

length of latus rectum
coordinate of focus:- (a,0)
equation of directrix:- x=-a
length of latus rectum:- 4a
parametric coordinates for a standard parabola
( at^2 , 2at)
relation of the parametric (t) for two points at the end of a focal chord
lentgh of focal chord with given parametric(t) or with given angle of the focal chord with the x axis
realtion between the sem latus rectum , and the l1,l2
condition of tangency for a parabola tangentq
c=a/m
length of the chord in a parabola with given m,a, c of the chord and parabola
conversions done to the main equation to make it into a tangent equation
equation of tangent with parametric given
equation of tangent with a given slope of tangent
relation between slope and parameter of a tangent
point of contact of tangents on the parabola with given parameter or slope
point of intersection of tangents at point t1 and t2
the portion between the directrix and the point the tangent touches the parabola subtends which angle at focus
90degree
tangent at extremities of focal chord subtends what at the directirx and waht does the intersection point at directirx,point of contants form
