1. (b) focus is (a, 0)
(c) vertex is ( , 0) 2a

Explanation: Let P(at2, 2at) be any point on the parabola y2 - 4 ax.

∴ Tangent to the parabola at P is y= + at, x

which meets the axis of parabola i.e x-axis at T (-at2, 0).

Also normal to parabola at P is t x + y = 2at + at3
which meets the axis of parabola at N(2a + at2, 0)
Let G (x, y) be the centriod of ΔPTN, then

Explanation: From the figure it is clear that

h(x) = ⎨ x , if 0 < x < 1
⎩

From the graph it is clear that h is continuous for all x ∈ R, h' (x) = 1 for all x > 1 and h is not
differentiable at x = 0 and 1 as there are sharp turns at x = 0 and 1.

We know if zk is 10th root of unity so will be z̄ . k

Such that z ⋅ z = z ⋅ z̄ = 1 k j k k

Hence the statement is true.

∴ We can always find a solution of z1.z = zk

Hence the statement is false.

From equation 1 + Z1 + Z2 +...+ Z9 = 0,
