1.8 Find the equation of the parabola which has its axis along the
x-axis, passes through the point (4, 2) and has slope 1/ 3 at
that point.
Solution:
The subnormal of such a parabola is constant. Therefore
dy .
dx =a Integrating we have y 2 = 2ax + b.

Substituting the given values of y and dy at the given x we


dx
obtain
(i)
and
4 = 8a + b (ii)
2 4
Solving (i) and (ii) simultaneously we obtain a= /3 b = - /3. 1

Hence the required equation is y 2 = 2ax + b or 3y2 = 4x - 4.
