Let P : y2 = 4ax, a > 0 be a parabola with focus S. Let the tangents to the parabola P make an angle of with the line y = 3x + 5 touch the parabola P at A and B. Then the value of a for which A, B and S are collinear is
Let P : y2 = 4ax, a > 0 be a parabola with focus S. Let the tangents to the parabola P make an angle of with the line y = 3x + 5 touch the parabola P at A and B. Then the value of a for which A, B and S are collinear is
Tangents making angle with y = 3x + 5.
So, these tangents are . So ASB is a focal chord.
