The two curves x3 – 3xy2 + 2 = 0 and 3x2y – y3 – 2 = 0 intersect at an angle of
Given the curve x3 – 3xy2 + 2 = 0 and 3x2y – y3 – 2 = 0
x3 – 3xy2 + 2 = 0
Differentiating on both sides with respect to x, we get
Applying the sum rule of differentiation and also the derivative of the constant is 0, so we get
Applying the power rule we get
Now applying the product rule of differentiation, we get
Let this be equal to m1
3x2y – y3 – 2 = 0
Differentiating on both sides with respect to x, we get
Applying the sum rule of differentiation and also the derivative of the constant is 0, so we get
Applying the power rule we get
Now applying the product rule of differentiation, we get
Let this be equal to m2
Multiplying equation (i) and (ii), we get
⇒ m1.m2=-1
As the product of the slopes is -1, hence both the given curves are intersecting at right angle i.., they are making angle with each other.
So the correct option is option C
