10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
normal
A common tangent to $9x^2 + 16y^2 = 144 ; y^2 - x + 4 = 0 \,\,\&\,\, x^2 + y^2 - 12x + 32 = 0$ is :
A
$y = 3$
B
$x = - 4$
C
$x = 4$
D
$y = - 3$
Solution
$y = (1/2) x + 2\ \Rightarrow 4 = 4. 1/4 + b^2 $
$\Rightarrow b^2 = 3$ again $4 = 4m^2 + 3$
$ \Rightarrow m = ± 1/2 ; $ make a figure and interpret the result
