Consider the graph of the parabola (a) Find the radius of the largest possible circle
Chapter 2, Problem 1(choose chapter or problem)
Consider the graph of the parabola (a) Find the radius of the largest possible circle centered on the axis that is tangent to the parabola at the origin, as show in the figure. This circle is called the circle of curvature (see Section 12.5). Find the equation of this circle. Use a graphing utility to graph the circle and parabola in the same viewing window to verify your answer. (b) Find the center of the circle of radius 1 centered on the axis that is tangent to the parabola at two points, as shown in the figure. Find the equation of this circle. Use a graphing utility to graph the circle and parabola in the same viewing window to verify your answer. 4xy
