Detailed Solution

(x-2)2+(y-8)2=4

 Normal to y2=4x

y+xt=2t+t3

 If it passes through (2,8) then 8+2t=2t+t3

t=2

P(4,4) eq to SP is 2x+y=12

S¯(2,8)¯SP=4+16=25

 Then Q2+4λ1+λ,8+4λ1+λ=4-2λ+1,4+4λ+1

Q lie, on the circle

22λ+12+4λ+142=4

4+1611λ+12=4

11λ+12=15λ=5+14

Let Q is (2-t,8+2t)

t2+4t2=4t=±25

 Ratio 8-8-2t8+2t-4=-tt+2=5+14

X-intercept of normal=6

 Slope of tangent to circle at Q=+12
