The shortest distance between the line $y-x=1$ and the curve $x=y^2$ is

The shortest distance between the line $x-y=1$ and the curve $x^{2}=2y$ is .... .

If three real normals can be drawn from a point on the $x$-axis to the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ $(a > 0)$,what is the range of the $x$-coordinate of the point?

Let $a, r, s, t$ be nonzero real numbers. Let $P(at^2, 2at)$,$Q(at'^2, 2at')$,$R(ar^2, 2ar)$,and $S(as^2, 2as)$ be distinct points on the parabola $y^2=4ax$. Suppose that $PQ$ is the focal chord and lines $QR$ and $PK$ are parallel,where $K$ is the point $(2a, 0)$.
$1.$ The value of $r$ is
$(A) -\frac{1}{t}$ $(B) \frac{t^2+1}{t}$ $(C) \frac{1}{t}$ $(D) \frac{t^2-1}{t}$
$2.$ If $st=1$,then the tangent at $P$ and the normal at $S$ to the parabola meet at a point whose ordinate is
$(A) \frac{(t^2+1)^2}{2t^3}$ $(B) \frac{a(t^2+1)^2}{2t^3}$ $(C) \frac{a(t^2+1)^2}{t^3}$ $(D) \frac{a(t^2+2)^2}{t^3}$
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.

If the points $(au^2, 2au)$ and $(av^2, 2av)$ are the extremities of a focal chord of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$,then

The tangents to the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ from an external point $P$ make angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ with the axis of the parabola,such that $\tan \theta_1 + \tan \theta_2 = b$,where $b$ is a constant. Then $P$ lies on
