Let \(x^{2}+y^{2}+A x+B y+C=0\) be a circle passing through \((0,6)\) and touching the parabola \(y = x ^{2}\) at \((2,4)\). Then \(A + C\) is equal to

  1. A \(16\)
  2. B \(88 / 5\)
  3. C \(72\)
  4. D \(-8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x ^{2}+ y ^{2}+ Ax + By + C =0\) is passing through \((0,6)\) \(\Rightarrow 6 B + C =-36\) The tangent of the parabola \(y = x ^{2}\) at \((2,4)\) is \(4 x - y -4=0 \quad-(1)\) The tangent of circle \(x ^{2}+ y ^{2}+ Ax + By + C =0\) at \((2,4)\) is…
