Question Number 196460 by peter frank last updated on 25/Aug/23

Commented by mr W last updated on 25/Aug/23

question is not clear.   t_1 ,t_2 ,t_3  are three points. what do you  mean with t_1 +t_2 +t_3 ?

i think t_(1 ) t_2  t_3  are slopes of normals

say the equation of a normal from   point P(h,k) is   y=k+t(x−h)  say the normal meets the parabola  at point A(u,v).  tan θ=(dx/dy)∣_(y=v) =(v/(2a))=−t  ⇒v=−2at  u=(v^2 /(4a))=(((−2at)^2 )/(4a))=at^2   v=k+t(u−h)  −2at=k+t(at^2 −h)  at^3 +(2a−h)t+k=0  three roots could exist for t, that   means three normals through   point (h,k) could exist^(∗)) .  t_1 +t_2 +t_3 =(0/a)=0 ✓  ^(∗))  the condition that three normals  exist is that the equation has three   real roots,  ⇒(−(k/(2a)))^2 +(((2a−h)/(3a)))^3 <0  ⇒((ak^2 )/4)+(((2a−h)^3 )/(27))<0  that means point P(h,k) must lie  inside the green area:  (example for a=0.5)
