Don't remember those formulas, just derive. It should guide you.

I.e if it says prove this is the tangent to the parabola just employ 2u knowledge.

If I need to find the tangent at 2ap I need to differentiate, sub in 2ap to find the gradient. Then use y-y=m(x-x) to sub in the values for x/y we're already given.

I it's a normal then the gradient is -1/m

etc..

That should get you a couple of marks.
