The tangent at (1, 7) to the curve \[x^{2}=y-6x\] touches the circle \[x^{2}+y^{2}+16x+12y+c=0\] at (-6, -7).
Explanation:
The tangent at (1, 7) to the parabola
\[x^{2}=y-6x\mathrm{is}\] is
\[x(1)=\frac{1}{2}\left(y+7\right)-6\]
\[\{\text{Replacing }x^2\to xx_1,2y\to y+y_1\}\]
\[\Rightarrow\quad y=2x+5\]
which is also tangent to the circle.
\[x^2+y^2+16x+12y+c=0\]
\[\therefore x^2+(2x+5)^2+16x+12(2x+5)+c=0\]
have equal and real roots
\[\Rightarrow\quad5x^2+60x+85+c=0\]
\[\Rightarrow\alpha=\beta\]
\[\Rightarrow\quad\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}\Rightarrow2\alpha=\frac{-60}{5}\]
\[\Rightarrow\quad\alpha=-6\]
\[\therefore\quad x=-6\]
\[andy=2x+5=2(-6)+5\]
\[y=-7\]
\[\therefore\] Point of contact (-6, -7)
