Minimum distance between the parabolas

y^2-4 x-8 y+40=0

and

x^2-8 x-4 y+40=0

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\sqrt{2}

Option D (

\sqrt{2}

) is correct because the minimum distance between the parabolas is the distance between the points where the tangents are parallel to the line of symmetry

y=x
