A and B are points of the parabola y = x2.the tangents at A and B meet at C.the median of the triangle ABC from C has length 'm' units.find the area of the triangle in terms of 'm'

hey
 
let the point A be t1 and point B be t2
 
so now the point C come out to be [ ( t1+t2) /2 , t1.t2 ]
 
The midpoint of AB can be easily calculated. So, we find the length od median .. and this gives t1 - t2 = sqrt(2).m
 
Now one can easily find the area in terms of m
 
cheers
