A circle passes through the focus of parabola x2=4y . If the circle touches the parabola at (6,9), then square of its radius is
Equation of tangent to parabola x2 = 4y at point P(6,9) is:
6x=2(y+9) or 3x−y−9=0
Equation of family of circles touching tangent at point P is:
(x−6)2+(y−9)2+λ(3x−y−9)=0
Circle passes through the point (0,1) =focus of the parabola.
∴λ=10
Thus, the equation of circle is:
x2+y2+18x−28y+27=0 Radius of the circle is 510 .
