What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to find the equation of a tangent to a parabola at a given point and then apply the condition for this line to be tangent to a circle.

Concepts Tested

Equation of Tangent to ParabolaCondition for Tangency to a CirclePerpendicular distance from center to tangent

Formulas Used

Equation of tangent to y^2 = 4ax at (x1, y1): yy1 = 2a(x + x1)

Distance from a point (x0, y0) to line Ax+By+C=0: |Ax0+By0+C| / sqrt(A^2+B^2)
