Question

 If the normals to the curve y=x2 at the points P,Q and R nass through the point (0,3/2) then the radius of the 

 circle circumscribing ΔPQR is 

Moderate
Solution

 Equation of normal at any point t,t2 is 

yt2=12t(xt) It passes through 0,32t=0 or t=1,1

 Hence P,Q,R are (0,0)(1,1) and (1,1) . 

PQR is a right triangle. 

 radius of circumcircle is 1.
