hey come on somone

For a parabola at any point (at2, 2at) slope of normal is given by -t

=> m= -t

we can write the point as (am2, -2am)

if this point lies on the given line then :

-2am = am3+ c

For hyperbola, the equation of normal at any point(asec θ, btanθ) is-

axsinθ+ by= (a2+b2)tanθ

equation of the line is y-mx=c

These would represent the same line if

asinθ/-m = b = (a2+b2)tanθ/c
→ cosecθ=-a/mb and cotθ= a2+b2/bc

cosec2θ-cot2θ=1

Solving,
a2c2=m2[b2c2+(a2+b2)2]

For ellipse,
any equation is ax secθ- by cosecθ=a2-b2
and line is y-mx=c

Solve it in the same way as in for hyperbola to get the result..
