For any non-zero real value of \(m\), the equation of the parabola to which the line \(m x-y+10+m^2=0\) is a tangent, is

  1. A \(x^2=y-10\)
  2. B \(y^2=4(x-2)\)
  3. C \(x^2=-4(y-10)\)
  4. D \(x^2=-4 y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^2=-4(y-10)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of tangent to the parabola is \(\begin{aligned} m x-y+\left(10+m^2\right) & =0 \\ m^2+m x+(10-y) & =0 \end{aligned}\) Since, above line is tangent, then \(D=0\)…
