Detailed Solution

Given parabola y2=4x a=1 Let A=(t12,2t1),B=(t22,2t2) be end points of chord Given that m=2a(t2-t1)a(t2-t1)(t2+t1)=2          t1+t2=1 Let P(x,y) be locus of point which divides AB in the ratio 1:3 then P(x, y)=t22+3t124,2t2+6t14

4x=1-t12+3t12, 4y=2(1-t1)+6t1 4x=1-2t1+4t12  ,  4y=2+4t1 4x=1-24y-24+44y-242 4x=1-2y+1+4y2+1-4y 4y2-6y-4x+3=0 for this parabola   Vertex =316,34
