Solve,
The analytical formula of parabola is y =-x-4;
(2) When point P moves to point (x, 0), there is BP2 = BD? BC,
Let x = 0, then y =-4,
The coordinates of point C are (0, -4).
∫PD∑AC,
∴△BPD∽△BAC,
∴.
BC =,
AB=6,BP=x-(-2)=x+2。
∴BD===.
∫BP2 = BD? BC,
∴(x+2)2=,
The solution is X 1 =, X2 =-2 (-2 is irrelevant and omitted).
∴ The coordinate of point P is (,0), that is, when point P moves to (,0), BP2 = BD? BC;
(3)∫△BPD∽△BAC,
∴,
∴×
S△BPC=×(x+2)×4-
∵,
When x = 1, the maximum value of S△BPC is 3.
That is, when the coordinate of point P is (1, 0), the area of △PDC is the largest.
