Question

 If the length of the latus rectum of the parabola 169(x1)2+(y3)2=(5x12y+17)2 is L then the value  of 13L is 

Moderate
Solution

 Here, (x1)2+(y3)2=5x12y+1752+(12)22

 the focus =(1,3) and the directrix is 5x12y+17=0

The distance of the focus from the directrix

 =5×112×3+1752+(12)2=1413 latus rectum =2×1413=2813
