Find the equation of a common tangent to the parabola y2=2x and the circle x2+y2+4x=0....


eq of tangent to parabola is y=mx+a/m


here a=1/2


=> mx-y+1/2m=0


this is a tangent to the circle.


so , 2=|-2m+1/2m| /


 


find value of 'm' from above eq. put it in mx-y+1/2m=0 u'll get the eq of common tangent.
