Q.

Consider a parabola  y2=2x. From a point where its directrix intersects the line  22x2y+3=0, a normal to the parabola is drawn, meeting the parabola at M (foot of normal) and N. R is point of intersection of tangent at M and chord ON produced (O is origin). If angle MRN is  θ then value of |tanθ| is

y2=2xa=122

Its directrix x=122 intersects
The line 22x2y+3=0 at  P(122,2)
Question Image

Equation of normal is y=mx2amam3 passing through  (122,2)

2=122m2122m122m3 m3+3m+4=0 m=1

Foot of normal is  M(am2,2am)M(122,12)

 t1=1t2=t12t1=3

 Other end of normal is  N(922,32)
Slope of  RN=mON=23
Slope of RM = 1
tanθ=|1+23123|=5
