TopicParametric equations

  1. The hyperbola \(H\) has Cartesian equation \(x y = 25\)
The parabola \(P\) has parametric equations \(x = 10 t ^ { 2 } , y = 20 t\)
The hyperbola \(H\) intersects the parabola \(P\) at the point \(A\)
  1. Use algebra to determine the coordinates of \(A\) The point \(B\) with coordinates \(( 10,20 )\) lies on \(P\)
  2. Find an equation for the normal to \(P\) at \(B\) Give your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers to be determined.
  3. Use algebra to determine, in simplest form, the exact coordinates of the points where this normal intersects the hyperbola \(H\)
