Any tangent to y2 = 4x is of the form y=mx+1ma=1and this touches the circle

(x-3)2+y2=9  If  r=d m3+1m0m2+1=3

Centre of the circle is (3,0) and radius is 3

3m2+1m=±3m2+13m2+1=±3mm2+1

9m4+1+6m2=9m2m2+1

9m4+1+6m2=9m2+9m2

3m2=1m=±13

If the tangent touches the parabola and circle above the x – axis, then slope m should be positive.

m=13 and the equation is y=13x+3or3y=x+3
