Let center of red circle be (R,k) and center of blue one (h,R) ⇒ P (((h+R)/2), ((k+R)/2)) P lies on parabola ⇒ ((k+R)/2) = a(((h+R)/2))^2 ....(i) y = ax^2 ⇒ −(dx/dy) = ((−1)/(2ax)) at P : (dx/dy) = (1/(a(h+R))) ⇒ ((k−R)/(h−R)) = (1/(a(h+R))) ....(ii) Also (h−R)^2 +(k−R)^2 = 4R^2 let h = R+2Rcos θ k = R+2Rsin θ using these in (i) 1+sin θ =aR(1+cos θ)^2 ..(I) using the same in (ii) 2aR(1+cos θ)sin θ = cos θ ..(II) (I)×(II) gives 2sin θ(1+sin θ) = cos θ(1+cos θ) let tan (θ/2) = t , then (((4t)/(1+t^2 )))(1+((2t)/(1+t^2 )))=(((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 )))(1+((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))) ⇒ 2t(1+t)^2 = 1−t^2 ⇒ t = −1 (i dont think acceptable) or 2t(1+t) = 1−t ⇒ 2t^2 +3t−1 = 0 t = ((−3±(√(9+8)))/4) taking t = (((√(17))−3)/4) And from (II) 2aR = (1/(tan θ(1+cos θ))) = ((1−t^2 )/(2t(1+((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))))) = ((1−t^4 )/(4t)) 2aR = ((1−(((1−3t)/2))^2 )/(4t)) = ((4−1−9t^2 +6t)/(16t)) = ((3+6t−9(((1−3t)/2)))/(16t)) = ((6+12t−9+27t)/(32t)) = ((39t−3)/(32t)) = ((39)/(32))−(3/(32t)) = ((39)/(32))−((3×4)/(32((√(17))−3))) = ((39)/(32))−((12((√(17))+3))/(32×8)) 2aR = ((78−3(√(17))−9)/(64)) or R = ((3(23−(√(17))))/(128a)) .
