Part of CG-03 — Parabola

Chord of Contact and Pair of Tangents

by Notetube Official41 words5 views

From external point (x1,y1), the chord of contact to y2y^2=4ax is T=0: yy1=2a(x+x1). The pair of tangents is T2T^2=S*S1. The chord with midpoint (x1,y1) satisfies T=S1. These are the same T=0 substitution rules as for circles, applied to the parabola equation.
