The normal to a curve at `P(x, y)` meets the x-axis at G. If the distance of G from the origin is twice the abscissa of P, then the curve is a (1) ellipse (2) parabola (3) circle (4) hyperbola

Answer» `(Y-y)=-dx/(dy)(X-x)`
`0-y=-(dx)/(dy)(G-x)`
`G=y(dy)/(dx)+x`
`|G|=2|x|`
`|x+(y)dy/(dx)|=2|x|`
`x+(y)dy/(dx)=2x or x+y(dy)/(dx)=-2x`
`y(dy)/(dx)=x or y(dy)/(dx)=-x`
`inty dy=intxdx or intydy=int-3xdx`
`y^2/2=x^2/2+c or y^2/2=-3x^2/2+c`
curves are `hyperbola or ellipse`
