已知抛物线y2=2px(p>0),过焦点F的直线l交抛物线于A,B两点,直线L的倾斜角为a,求证:AB=2p/sin2a

已知抛物线y2=2px(p>0),过焦点F的直线l交抛物线于A,B两点,直线L的倾斜角为a,求证:AB=2p/sin2a

Answer 1

求证:AB=2p/sin²a
焦点F坐标(0.5p,0),设直线L过F,则直线L方程为y=k(x-0.5p)
联立y²=2px得k²x²-(pk²+2p)x+p²k²/4=0
由韦达定理得x1+x2=p+2p/k²
AB=x1+0.5p+x2+0.5p=x1+x2+p=2p+2p/k²=2p(1+1/k²)
因为k=tana,所以1+1/k²=1+1/tan²a
=(sin²a/sin²a)+(cos²a/sin²a)
=(sin²a+cos²a)/sin²a
=1/sin²a
所以2p（1+1/k²）=2p/sin²a
