Consider y2 = 4ax as the equation of curve
By differentiating both sides w.r.t. x
2y dy/dx = 4a
We can write it as
dy/dx = 2a/y
By substituting the values
(dy/dx)(at2, 2at) = 2a/2at = 1/t
Here the equation of tangent at point (at2, 2at)
y – 2at = 1/t(x – at2)
On further calculation
yt – 2at2 = x – at2
So we get
x – ty + at2 = 0
Here the equation of normal at point (at2, 2at)
y – 2at = – t(x – at2)
By further calculation
y – 2at = – tx + at3
We can write it as
y + tx = at3 + 2at
So we get
tx + y = at3 + 2at
