Tangent And Geometric Sequence (Posted on 2007-09-21) Difficulty: 2 of 5
P, Q and R are three points on the parabola y2 = 4bx, and the ordinates of the points P, Q and R (in this order) are in geometric sequence. b is a constant.

The tangents drawn respectively at the points P and R intersect at the point T.

Is it always the case that QT is perpendicular to the tangent drawn at Q?
