The equation of the circle drawn with the focus of the parabola `(x - 1)^2 - 8 y = 0` as its centre touching the parabola at its vertex is:

Answer» equation of parabola
`(x-1)^2=8y`=4*2*y -(1)
so, a=2
`x^2`=4ay
putting in eq(1)
x-1=0
x=0
y=0
vertex will be V(1,0)
center of circle will be=(1,2)
r=a=2
eqation of circle
`(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=2^2`
`x^2-2x=1=y^2-4y=4=4`
`x^2=y^2-2x-4y+1=0`
