If the line `y=m x+1`is tangent to the parabola `y^2=4x ,`then find the value of `mdot`

Answer» We know, equation of a tangent for a parabola, `y^2 = 4ax` is,
`y = mx+a/m`
Comparing it with given equation,
`y = mx+1`
`a/m = 1`
`=> m = a->(1)`
In the give parabola, `y^2 = 4x`,
`a = 1`
`:. m = a = 1`
So, the value of `m` is `1`.
