Centre of circle = (0, a)
Radius = 1
therefore, equation of circle is x^2 + (y -a)^2 = 1...............(1)
equation of parabola is y = 2x^2..............(2)
Sub. (2) into (1) we get
y/2 + (y -a)^2 - 1 = 0
y/2 + y^2 + a^2 - 2ay - 1 = 0
y + 2y^2 + 2a^2 - 4ay - 2 = 0
2y^2 + (1 - 4a)y + (2a^2 - 2) = 0
Since the circle touches the parabola, delta = 0
(1-4a)^2 - 4(2)(2a^2 - 2) = 0
1 + 16a^2 - 8a - 16a^2 + 16 = 0
a = 17/8.
so y = -(1-4a)/4 = -(1-17/2)/4 = 15/8 (based on formula of quadratic equation with equal roots.)
so x = +/- sqrt(15/16). (based on the equation y= 2x^2)
so the point of contacts are : [(sqrt15)/4, 15/8] and [-sqrt15)/4, 15/8]
