Q86.Let a common tangent to the curves ๐‘ฆ2 = 4๐‘ฅ and ๐‘ฅ- 42 + ๐‘ฆ2 = 16 touch the curves at the points ๐‘ƒ and ๐‘„. Then ๐‘ƒ๐‘„2 is equal to ________.

What This Question Tests

This question involves finding the common tangent to a parabola and a circle, then determining the points of tangency and the squared distance between them, which requires simultaneous application of properties of both conic sections.

Concepts Tested

Equation of tangent to parabolaEquation of tangent to circleDistance formula

Formulas Used

y = mx + a/m (tangent to y^2=4ax)

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

Distance between two points
