Analyzing +4 | -1

If the line

ax + y = c

, touches both the curves

{x^2} + {y^2} = 1

and

{y^2} = 4\sqrt 2 x

, then

\left| c \right|

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\sqrt 2

Option C (

\sqrt 2

) is correct because it is found by using the tangent condition for both the circle and the parabola and solving for |c|.
