If P(at12,2at1)P\left(a t_1^2, 2 a t_1\right) and Q(at22,2at2)Q\left(a t_2^2, 2 a t_2\right) are two points on the parabola y2=4axy^2=4 a x, then the area of the triangle formed by the tangents at PP and QQ and the chord PQP Q, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
12a2∣t1−t2∣3\frac{1}{2} a^2\left|t_1-t_2\right|^3
Option A (12a2∣t1−t2∣3\frac{1}{2} a^2\left|t_1-t_2\right|^3) is correct because it represents the area of the triangle formed by the tangents and the chord, derived from the determinant formula.
