    The equation of common tangent to the curves \[{{y}^{2}}=8x\] and \[xy=-1\], is

    A)  \[3y=9x+2\]                

    B)  \[y=2x+1\]

    C)  \[y=x+2\]                   

    D)  \[2y=x+8\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[y=mx+\frac{2}{m}\] Solved with \[xy=-1\] \[\therefore \,\,\,x\left( mx\,+\frac{2}{m} \right)\,=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}m+\frac{2}{m}\,x+1=0\] Put discriminanant = 0 \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{4}{{{m}^{2}}}=4m\,\Rightarrow \,m=1\,\,\,\therefore \,\,y=x+2\]
