Find the angle between the parabolas ...

Find the angle between the parabolas `y^2=4a x` and `x^2=4b y` at their point of intersection other than the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have,
`y^{2}=4 a x text { and } x^{2}=4 b y `
`Rightarrow(frac{x^{2}}{4 b})^{2}=4 a x[because, x^{2}=4 b y Rightarrow y=frac{x^{2}}{4 b}] `
`Rightarrow x^{4}-64 a b^{2} x=0 `
`Rightarrow x(x^{3}-64 a b^{2})=0 `
`Rightarrow x=0, x=4 a^{1 / 3} b^{2 / 3}`
