The tangent at (1,7) to the curve x^(2) = y - 6x touches the circle x^(2) + y^(2) + 16x + 12 y + c = 0 at

Answer»

(6,7)
(-6, 7)
(6, -7)
(-6,-7)

Solution :The TANGENT at (1, 7) to the parabola `x^(2) = y - 6x` is
`x (1) = (1)/(2) (y + 7) - 6`
[replacing `x^(2) to xx_(1)` and `2y to y + y_(1)`]
`implies 2x = y + 7 - 12`
`implies y = 2x + 5`
Which is also tangents to the circle
`x^(2) + y^(2) + 16X + 12 y + c = 0`
i.e., `x^(2) + (2x + 5)^(2) + 16x + 12 (2x + 5) + C = 0` must have equal, ROOLS i.e., `alpha = beta`
`implies 5x^(2) + 60x + 85 + c = 0`
`implies alpha + beta = (-60)/(5)`
`implies alpha = - 6`
`:. x = - 6` and `y = 2x + 5 = - 7`
`:.` POINT of contact is (-6, -7).

Answer»


Answer :(i) `(3y - 2x-1)^(2)(2Y+x-2) = c`
(II) `[(x^(2) - 2y^(2) - 2x - 4y - 2) = c[(x-ysqrt(2)-SQRT(2)-1)/(x+ysqrt(2) + sqrt(2) - 1)]^((1)/(sqrt(2)))]`
(iii) `sqrt(3) log (Y^(2) - 2XY - 2X^(2)) + 2LOG {(Y-1(1+sqrt(3))X)/(Y-(1-sqrt(3))X)} = C`
