Question
Prove that the curves x = y2 and xy = k cut at right angles if 8k2 = 1. [Hint: Two curves intersect at right angle if the tangents to the curves at the point of intersection are perpendicular to each other.]
Solution
The equations of the given curves are given as `x = y^2 and xy = k`
Putting x = y2 in xy = k, we get:
This implies that we should have the product of the tangents as − 1.
Thus, the given two curves cut at right angles if the product of the slopes of their respective tangents at
