Question

Question: The angle of intersection of the two curves xy = a<sup>2</sup> and x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup> = ...

The angle of intersection of the two curves

xy = a2 and x2 + y2 = 2a2 is

A

π6\frac{\pi}{6}

B

π4\frac{\pi}{4}

C

π3\frac{\pi}{3}

D

None of these

Answer

π3\frac{\pi}{3}

Explanation

Solution

xy = a2, x2 + y2 = 2a2

point of intersection (a, a) (– a, – a)

xy = a2 x2 + y2 = 2a2

dy/dx = –y/x dy/dx = –x/y

at(a, a) at(a, a)

m1 = –1 m2 = –1
