Is x+y+1=0 a tangent of both y^2=4x and x^2=4y parabolas?

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.

__

For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...

  y^2 = 4(-y-1)

  y^2 +4y +4 = 0

  (y+2)^2 = 0

  y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only

  x = -(-2)-1 = 1

The point of intersection is (1, -2).

__

For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:

  x^2 = 4(-x-1)

  (x +2)^2 = 0

  x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only

___

If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.

_____

Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.

10 lbs/$12= 1 lb/x dollars.
If you rewrite it up and down and not slanted, it would be clearer to understand, but anyways, you cross multiply:
12*1=12 
12/10= 1.2
So the answer is 1.2, if you put it on that bubble sheet, put 1, then a decimal, after the decimal 2, and then all 0's,.
