Question 2 The two curves x3 ā 3xy2 + 2 = 0 and 3x2y ā y3 = 2 (A) touch each other (B) cut at right angle (C) cut at an angle š/3 (D) cut at an angle š/4 Angles between two curves is same as angle between their tangents. So, first we will find slope of their tangents. Finding slope of tangent of first curve š„^3ā3š„š¦^2+2=0 Differentiating w.r.t x ć3š„ć^2ā 3š¦^2 ā 6xy šš¦/šš„ = 0 ć3š„ć^2ā 3š¦^2 = 6xy šš¦/šš„ šš¦/šš„ = (3š„^2 ā3š¦^2)/6š„š¦ š š/š š = (š^š āš^š)/ššš Let m1 = (š„^2 āš¦^2)/2š„š¦ Finding slope of tangent of second curve 3š„^2 š¦āš¦^3ā2=8 Differentiating w.r.t x 3š„^2 šš¦/šš„+6š„š¦ ā 3š¦^2 šš¦/šš„ = 0 (3š„^2ā3š¦^2 ) šš¦/šš„ = ā6xy šš¦/šš„ = (ā6š„š¦)/(3š„^2 ā3š¦^2 ) š š/š š = (āššš)/(š^š āš^š ) Let, š_š= (ā2š„š¦)/(š„^2 āš¦^2 ) Finding Product of m1 & m2 m1 Ć m2 = (š„^2 ā š¦^2)/2š„š¦ Ć ((ā2š„š¦)/(š„^(2 )ā š¦^2 )) = ā1 Since, product of the slopes is ā1 ā“ Angle between tangents is 90° Thus, curves cut each other at right angle. So, the correct answer is (B)
