 The equation of tangent to the parabola 

y=mx+am5=6m+1mm=12,13

 Therefore, equation of tangents will be 

x2y+4=0 and x3y+9=0

 The point of intersections with the parabola y2=4x were found out to be (4,4) and (9,6)

(x9)2+(y6)2+λ(3yx9)=0;(x,y)=(9,6)(x4)2+(y4)2+λ(2yx4)=0;(x,y)=(4,4)

substituting  focal point (1,0) we find λ=10 and λ=5, hence the radius can be 

 calculated by standard result as 552 and 510

x2+y2-28x+18y+27=0

x2+y2-13x+2y+12=0

Equation of common chord is 15x-16y-15=0

Centroid of triangle PQR 6+9+43,5+6+43=193,153
