Question

A circle of 2 units and center on the x - axis is inscribed in the parabola \[x=2y^{2}\] Find the points at w/c the circle and the parabola touch each oother.

Answer 1

x=2y^{2}

Answer 2

@pizzapi I think you misunderstood the question.

The circle is on the x-axis but not necessarily at the origin and is INSCRIBED in the parabola.

Answer 3

oh, oops

Answer 4

still would be similar
solve for a
with
x=2y^2
x^2+(y-a)^2=4
then solve the equations

Answer 5

3 unknowns...?

Answer 6

it would be 2, since you can sub x^2 as 4y^4
