Question:medium

The normal drawn to the parabola \[ y^2=8x \] at \((2,4)\) meets the parabola again at the point

Show Hint

For the parabola \[ y^2=4ax, \] the normal at parameter \(t\) is \[ y=-tx+2at+at^3. \] After obtaining the normal, substitute it into the parabola and use the known point to identify the second point of intersection.
