Parabola
Question

y=x+2 is any tangent to the parabola y2=8x . The ordinate  of the point P on this tangent such that the other tangent 

 from it which is perpendicular to it is 

Moderate
Solution

 Clearly P is the point of intersection of two perpendicular  tangents to the parabola y2=8x . 

 Here, 4a=8 or a=2 Hence P must lie on the directrix 

x+a=0 or x+2=0x=2 . Hence the point is (2,0) .
