Parabola is \mathrm{y}^2=12 \mathrm{x} Let \mathrm{Q}\left(3 \mathrm{t}^2, 6 \mathrm{t}\right) so \mathrm{P}\left(27 \mathrm{t}^2, 18 \mathrm{t}\right) \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}(\alpha, \beta)=\left(\mathrm{at}_1 \mathrm{t}_2, \mathrm{a}\left(\mathrm{t}_1+\mathrm{t}_2\right)\right) \\ & =(3 \mathrm{t} \cdot 3 \mathrm{t}, 3(\mathrm{t}+3 \mathrm{t})) \\ & \mathrm{R}(\alpha, \beta)=\left(9 \mathrm{t}^2, 12 \mathrm{t}\right) \\ & \frac{\beta^2}{\alpha}=\frac{(12 t)^2}{9 t^2}=\frac{144}{9}=16 \\ & \end{aligned}
