Question:medium

If the equation of the tangent to the parabola $y^2=4ax$ at the point $(at^2,2at)$ is perpendicular to the line $x+y=1$, then the value of $t$ is:

Show Hint

For the parabola $y^2=4ax$, remember the standard tangent form directly: \[ ty=x+at^2 \] It saves a lot of differentiation.
