Here, the given equation of parabola is y2= 8x.
The equation of tangent to the parabola y2=8x is,
y= mx + 2/m
This tangent passes through the point (-2, 3)
So, 3 = -2m + 2/m
or, 3m + 2m2 = 2
or, 2m2+3m - 2= 0
or, 2m2 + (4 - 1)m -2 = 0
or, 2m2 + 4m - m - 2 = 0
or, 2m(m + 2) - 1(m+2) = 0
or, (m + 2) (2m - 1) = 0
Either, Or,
m = -2 m = 1/2
Required angle is,
Dextrorotatory and dextrorotation are terms used in chemistry to describe the direction in which a substance rotates plane-polarized light. When a substance is said to be dextrorotatory, it means that it rotates plane-polarized light to the right or clockwise direction, whereas when it is levorotatory, it rotates plane-polarized light to the left or counterclockwise direction.
The terms "dextrorotatory" and "levorotatory" come from the Latin words "dexter" meaning "right" and "lævus" meaning...
The two vectors (say A and B) of different magnitudes cannot be combined to give zero resultant since minimum value of combination is ІA-BІ which is not zero if AB.
The three vectors A, B and C of different magnitudes can be zero such that they form a closed triangle, then,
A+B+C=0
or, C=-(A+B)
Hence, the sum of three vectors may be zero if vector sum of any two vectors is equal and opposite to the third vector.
Note: The vectors can give this result only if...
