The tangent to the curve x² = y - 6 at the point (1, 7) also touches the circle x² + y² + 16x + 12y + c = 0. Find the value of c.

  1. 185
  2. 85
  3. 95
  4. 195

Correct answer: 95

Solution

Tangent line is y = 2x + 5; distance from circle centre (-8,-6) equals radius sqrt(100 - c). Solving gives c = 95.
