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
6π
B
4π
C
3π
D
None of these
Answer
3π
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
