i tried taking tangent of y^2=4ax in parametric form and compared with the parametric normal of x^2=4by but didnt really get smthing , did same with slope forms

@hardcoreisdead please send a picture of the question instead of typing it @iTeachChem please consider making a rule for this if possible. Students bring handwritten questions to me a lot of times and they turn out to be wrong, like a mistake in copying which just turns out to be a waste of time. So I’ve stopped trying questions like this at all lol It’s always better to see the question printed somewhere. Chances of an error are very less this way

\begin{aligned}&Tangent : y^{2}=4ax\&\Rightarrow y=mx+\frac{a}{m}\&Normal:x^{2}=4by\&y=mx+2b+\frac{b}{m^{2}}\&Comparing\rightarrow2b+\frac{b}{m^{2}}=\frac{a}{m}\&\Rightarrow2bm^{2}-am+b=0\&D>0\Rightarrow a^{2}-8b^2>0\end{aligned}
