Paper 1GeometryAlgebra

The point P(xP,yP)P(x_P,y_P) lies on the curve CC with equation y2=4xy^2=4x, such that yP>0y_P>0.

Normals are drawn to the curve CC at three distinct points, N1N_1, N2N_2, and N3N_3. All three normals pass through the point PP. Note that one of these points is PP itself (i.e., let N1=PN_1=P).

Let GG be the centroid of the triangle formed by the points N1N_1, N2N_2, and N3N_3. Find the set of all possible xx-coordinates for GG. Diagram for question 12
