Question

Let P and Q be distinct points on the parabola y2 = 2x such that a circle with PQ as diameter passesthrough the vertex O of the parabola. If P lies in the first quadrant and the area of the triangle ᐃOPQis 3√2, then which of the following is(are) the coordinates of P ?

Options

A.(4, 2√2)
B.(9,3√2)
C.
D.(1, √2)

Solution

         
∵ ⎳POQ = ⇒  t1t2 = - 4
∴   = 6 √2
= 6√2
⇒  |t1 - t2| = 3√2
⇒   t1 + = 3√2    (∵  t1 > 0)
We get t1 = 2√2, √2
P(4, 2√2)  or  (1, √2)
