The correct Answer is:
To find the angle at which the two curves \( x^3 - 3xy^2 + 2 = 0 \) and \( 3x^2y - y^3 + 3 = 0 \) intersect, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the first curve We start with the first curve: \[ x^3 - 3xy^2 + 2 = 0 \] Differentiating both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(x^3) - \frac{d}{dx}(3xy^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(2) = 0 \] Using the product rule for \( 3xy^2 \): \[ 3x^2 - 3\left(y^2 + 2y\frac{dy}{dx}x\right) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x^2 - 3y^2 - 6xy\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ 3x^2 - 3y^2 = 6xy\frac{dy}{dx} \] Thus, we can express \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2 - y^2}{2xy} \] ### Step 2: Differentiate the second curve Now, we differentiate the second curve: \[ 3x^2y - y^3 + 3 = 0 \] Differentiating both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2y) - \frac{d}{dx}(y^3) + \frac{d}{dx}(3) = 0 \] Using the product rule for \( 3x^2y \): \[ 3(2xy + x^2\frac{dy}{dx}) - 3y^2\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6xy + 3x^2\frac{dy}{dx} - 3y^2\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ 6xy = (3y^2 - 3x^2)\frac{dy}{dx} \] Thus, we can express \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2xy}{y^2 - x^2} \] ### Step 3: Find the slopes at the point of intersection Let the point of intersection be \( (x_1, y_1) \). The slopes of the tangents at this point for the two curves are: 1. For the first curve: \[ m_1 = \frac{x_1^2 - y_1^2}{2x_1y_1} \] 2. For the second curve: \[ m_2 = \frac{2x_1y_1}{y_1^2 - x_1^2} \] ### Step 4: Find the angle between the two curves The angle \( \theta \) between the two curves can be found using the formula: \[ \tan(\theta) = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1m_2} \right| \] To find the angle at which the curves intersect, we can also check if the product of the slopes is -1, which indicates that they intersect at right angles. ### Step 5: Check for right angle intersection Calculating the product of the slopes: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \left(\frac{x_1^2 - y_1^2}{2x_1y_1}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{2x_1y_1}{y_1^2 - x_1^2}\right) = -1 \] This implies that the curves intersect at right angles. ### Conclusion The angle at which the two curves intersect each other is \( 90^\circ \). ---
