Detailed Solution

The given equation of circle is

x2+y26x=0(x3)2+(y0)2=(3)2                       (1)

Here, centre is (3, 0) and radius = 3

Let equation of tangent to the parabola y2=4x is y=mx+1m                        (2)

m2xmy+1=0 which is also tangent to (i) so, distance from point (3, 0) to the tangent = Radius

 3m2+1m4+m2=3m=±13

Required equation of tangents are

x+3y+3=0 and x3y+3=0
