The question seems to be incomplete, here is the complete question:
The locus of the point of trisection of all the double ordinates of the parabola y2=lx
Answer:
It seems that you think that the focuses of the both parabolas have the same x-coordinate.
The coordinates of the points both on the parabola y2=lx and on x=t are (t,±lt−−√).
Since the double ordinates on x=t are trisected, we get
(t,1⋅lt−−√+2(−lt−−√)1+2) (t,1⋅(−lt−−√)+2⋅lt−−√1+2),
(t,±lt−−√3)
which are on the parabola y^2=l/3^2x=l/9x
