Detailed Solution

P is a point on x2=4yp=2t,t2

           centre of the circle x2+y2+6x+8=0  

           is c=3,0;pc=2t+32+t4

             let s=t4+2t+32

dsdt=4t3+42t+3

d2sat2=12t2+8>0

dsdt=04t3+42t+3=0

t3+2t+3=0t=1p=2,1

x2=4y;2x=4dydxm=x2=1

The equation of tangent at p is 

y1=x+2 

x+y+1=0
