let P(x;y) be point on curve                      S(4;0)
there fore according problem  PS  = 20 units
 
PS2 = 400
(x-4)2 + y2 =400 
 
x2 + y2 + 16 - 8x = 400  
 
as 8x = y2 + 16 
 
tht implies  y2 +16 - 8x = 0
 
 therefore  x2 = 400
 
                  x = 20 or - 20
 
put these x values in curve equation we get  y values as 12 or -12
 
therefore points are (20;12) and (20;-12)
