Re: HSC 2013 3U Marathon Thread

Consider two points A and B on a parabola, forming a chord AB that cuts off some 'segment' of the parabola. Let the area of that segment be X.

Now choose a third point C in between A and B such that the tangent is parallel to the chord AB. The points ABC form a triangle with area Y.

Prove that 3X = 4Y.
