Detailed Solution

Given parabola y2 = 6x
4a=6a=32
Positive end of the latusrectum L=(a,2a)=32,3
Equation of tangent to the parabola y2=6x at L is S1=0
yy1=3x+x1 at point 32,33y=3x+323y=32x+326y=6x+92x2y+3=0
Slope of tangent = 1
Slope of normal = –1
Equation of normal at (32,3) is
y3=1x32y3=x+322y6=2x+32x+2y9=0
