Consider the parabolas y=x^2 and y=a(x-b)^2+c, where a,b,c are all real numbers

(a) Derive an equation for a line tangent to both of these parabolas (show all steps, assuming that such a line exists)

(b) Assume that the doubly-tangent line has an equation y+Ax+B. Find an example of values of a,b,c (other than the ones given here or in class) such that A,B ∈ Z

(c) Consider the case a = 1. Does your algebra accurately reflect what we can expect geometrically? Explain.

Consider the equation x^2+(y-2)^2 and the relation “(x, y) R (0, 2)”, where R is read as “has distance 1 of”. For example, “(0, 3) R (0, 2)”, that is, “(0, 3) has distance 1 of (0, 2)”. This relation can also be read as “(x, y) belongs to the circle of radius 1 with center (0, 2)”. In other words: “(x, y) satisfies this equation if, and only if, (x, y) R (0, 2)”. Does this equation determine a...
