(a) Let P=(x,y)
Then, F=(x,3)
=> FP=3-y
AP²=(x-2)² + y²
BP²=x² + (y- -2)² = x² + (y+2)²
If AP²+BP²=2FP², we have
(x-2)² + y² + x² + (y+2)² = 2(3-y)²
2x²+2y²-4x+4y+8 = 2(9-6y+y²)
x²+y²-2x+2y+4 = 9-6y+y²
x²-2x+8y-5 = 0
∴ eqt. of locus of P : x²-2x+8y-5 = 0
(b)
x²-2x + 8y-5 = 0
(x-1)²-1 + 8y-5 = 0
(x-1)² + 8y-6 = 0
8y = -(x-1)² +6
∴ y = -(¹/₈)(x-1)² + ¾
The locus of P is a parabola with :
vertex = (1,¾) , axis of symmetry : x=1
Further, it opens downwards.
