If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the end points of the focal chord of parabola y2=16x, then the value of 16x1x2+y1y2 is

Open in App
Solution

Given parabola is y2=16x
a=4t1t2=1
Then the coordinates of the end point of the focal chord is
(x1,y1)=(4t21,8t1)(x2,y2)=(4t21,8t1)

Therefore,
16x1x2+y1y2=16(16)64=192
