To prove that the tangents drawn to the curves \( y = f(x) \) and \( z = g(x) \) at their intersection points are perpendicular if and only if \( f'(x) \cdot g'(x) = -1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the intersection point Let the curves intersect at the point \( (m, f(m)) \) where \( f(m) = g(m) \). ### Step 2: Find the slopes of the tangents The slope of the tangent to the curve \( y = f(x) \) at \( x = m \) is given by the derivative \( f'(m) \). Similarly, the slope of the tangent to the curve \( z = g(x) \) at \( x = m \) is given by the derivative \( g'(m) \). ...
