18. PN is an ordinate of the parabola; a straight line is drawn parallel to the axis to bisect NP and meets the curve in Q; prove that NQ meets the tangent at the vertex in a point T such that AT=2/3 NP.
21. If P,Q and R be three points on a parabola whose ordinates are in geometrical progression, prove that the tangents at P and R meet on the ordinate of Q.
