Let $A$ and $B$ be the two points of intersection of the line $y+5=0$ and the mirror image of the parabola $y^2=4x$ with respect to the line $x+y+4=0$. If $d$ denotes the distance between $A$ and $B$,and $a$ denotes the area of $\triangle SAB$,where $S$ is the focus of the parabola $y^2=4x$,then the value of $(a+d)$ is:

$S \equiv y^2 - 4ax = 0$ and $S' \equiv y^2 + ax = 0$ are two parabolas,and $P(t)$ is a point on the parabola $S' = 0$. If $A$ and $B$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $P$ onto the coordinate axes and $AB$ is a tangent to the parabola $S = 0$ at the point $Q(t_1)$,then $t_1 =$
