Q69.If the tangent at (1, 7) to the curve x2 = y โˆ’6 touch the circle x2 + y2 + 16x + 12y + c = 0 then the value of c is: (1) 95 (2) 195 (3) 185 (4) 85

What This Question Tests

This question combines finding the equation of a tangent to a parabola and then using the condition that this tangent also touches a given circle, specifically that the distance from the circle's center to the tangent equals the radius.

Concepts Tested

Equation of tangent to a parabola/curveCondition for tangency of a line to a circleEquation of a circle

Formulas Used

Equation of tangent to y=f(x) at (x1, y1): y - y1 = f'(x1)(x - x1)

Distance from center to tangent = radius for a circle

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
