problem

Let points PP and QQ be the intersections of the parabola y2=4ax,y^2 = 4ax, where a>0,a > 0, and an arbitrary line passing through the focus of the parabola. Let RR be the reflection of PP in the xx-axis. Find the intersection of line QRQR with the xx-axis.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Let points P and Q be the intersections of the parabola y²=4ax, where a>0, and an arbitrary line passing through the focus of the parabola.  Let R be the reflection of P in the x-axis.  Find the intersection of line QR with the x-axis.
Original LaTeX notation
Let points $P$ and $Q$ be the intersections of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax,$ where $a > 0,$ and an arbitrary line passing through the focus of the parabola.  Let $R$ be the reflection of $P$ in the $x$-axis.  Find the intersection of line $QR$ with the $x$-axis.
