Question

Find the equation of common tangent of x²+y²=4ax and y²=4ax.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

x² +4ax+y² =0

x² +4ax+4a² +y² =4a²

(x+2a) ² +y² =4a² ......(i)

y² =4ax.........(ii)

By tracing the circle and the parabola we can clearly see that they touch each other along the y axis

So the equation of common tangent is x=0.
