The acute angle of intersection of the curves x 2 y = 1 and y = x 2 in the first quadrant is θ , then tan θ is equal to
Options
- A1
- B2 3
- C3 4
- D4 3
Correct answer
D. 4 3
Step-by-step solution
Solving the equation of the curves, we get 1 x 2 = x 2 ⇒ x = ± 1 ∴ Intersection point is 1,1 in the first quadrant. Now, x 2 y = 1 ⇒ y = 1 x 2 ⇒ d y d x = - 2 x 3 ⇒ m 1 = - 2 (by putting x = 1 ) And y = x 2 ⇒ d y d x = 2 x ⇒ m 2 = 2 ∴ tan ⁡ θ = m 1 - m 2 1 + m 1 m 2 = 4 3
