Two parabolas with a common vertex and with axes along -axis and -axis, respectively, intersect each other in the first quadrant. if the length of the latus rectum of each parabola is 3 , then the equation of the common tangent to the two parabolas is?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
As origin is the only common point to axis and -axis, so, origin is the common vertex Let the equation of two of parabolas be
Now latus rectum of both parabolas Two parabolas are Suppose is the common tangent.
As, the tangent touches at one point only
So, and ( ii)
Hence,\frac{3}{4}
\Rightarrow4(x+y)+3=0
