Problem

The parabola has focus and goes through the points and . For how many points with integer coordinates is it true that ?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
The parabola is symmetric through , and the common distance is , so the directrix is the line through and , which is the line Using the point-line distance formula, the parabola is the locus which rearranges to . Let , . Put to obtain and accordingly we find by solving the system that and . One can show that the values of that make an integer pair are precisely odd integers . For this is , so values work and the answer is .
Final answer
B
