Given parabola is x2=8y ⇒4a=8⇒a=2 To find: Area of △ABC A=(−2a,a)=(−4,2)B=(2a,a)=(4,2)C=(0,0) 
∴ Area =21−440220111=21[−4(2)−2(4)+1(0)]=2−16=−8≈8 sq. unit (∵ area cannot be negative )

Suppose that two chords, drawn from the point $(1, 2)$ on the circle $x^2 + y^2 + x - 3y = 0$ are bisected by the $y$-axis. If the other ends of these chords are $R$ and $S$, and the mid point of the line segment $RS$ is $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $6(\alpha + \beta)$ is equal to:
Let $\dfrac{x^2}{f(a^2+7a+3)} + \dfrac{y^2}{f(3a+15)} = 1$ represent an ellipse with major axis along $y$-axis, where $f$ is a strictly decreasing positive function on $\mathbb{R}$. If the set of all possible values of $a$ is $\mathbb{R} - [\alpha, \beta]$, then $\alpha^2+\beta^2$ is equal to:
Let the vertex $A$ of a triangle $ABC$ be $(1, 2)$, and the mid-point of the side $AB$ be $(5, -1)$. If the centroid of this triangle is $(3, 4)$ and its circumcenter is $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $21(\alpha + \beta)$ is equal to:
Let O be the origin, and P and Q be two points on the rectangular hyperbola $xy = 12$ such that the mid point of the line segment PQ is $\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, -\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$. Then the area of the triangle OPQ equals:
If the line $\alpha x+4 y=\sqrt{7}$, where $\alpha \in \mathbf{R}$, touches the ellipse $3 x^{2}+4 y^{2}=1$ at the point P in the first quadrant, then one of the focal distances of $P$ is :
