Given that point F is the focus of the parabola E:y2=2px (p>0), and point A(2,m) lies on the parabola E and its distance to the origin is 23.
(Ⅰ) Find the equation of the parabola E; (Ⅱ) Given point G(−1,0), extend AF to intersect the parabola E at point B, prove that: a circle with center at point F and tangent to line GA must also be tangent to line GB.
Solution
Solution: (Ⅰ) From the given conditions, we have: {m2=4p4+m2=23, Solving this, we get p=2, Therefore, the equation of the parabola E is y2=4x. (Ⅱ) Since point A(2,m) lies on the parabola E:y2=4x, we have m=±22, Considering the symmetry of the parabola, let's assume A(2,22). From A(2,22) and F(1,0), we get the equation of line AF as y=22(x−1). From {y=22(x−1)y2=4x, we get 2x2−5x+2=0, Solving this, we find x=2 or x=21, thus B(21,−2). Also, for G(−1,0), we have kGA=2−(−1)22−0=322, kGB=21−(−1)−2−0=−322, Therefore, kGA+kGB=0, hence ∠AGF=∠BGF, This indicates that the distance from point F to lines GA and GB are equal, Thus, a circle with center at point F and tangent to line GA must also be tangent to line GB.
The final answers are: (Ⅰ) The equation of the parabola E is y2=4x. (Ⅱ) It is proven that a circle with center at point F and tangent to line GA must also be tangent to line GB.
