Here you will learn angle of intersection of two curves formula with examples.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin –<\/p>\n

Angle of Intersection of Two Curves<\/h2>\n

The angle of intersection of two curves is defined to be the angle between the tangents to the two curves at their point of intersection.<\/p>\n

Let \\(C_1\\) and \\(C_2\\) be two curves having equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) respectively.<\/p>\n

and \\(m_1\\) = slope of tangent to y = f(x) at P = \\(({dy\\over dx})_{C_1}\\)<\/p>\n

and \\(m_2\\) = slope of the tangent to y = g(x) at P = \\(({dy\\over dx})_{C_2}\\)<\/p>\n

\n

Angle between the curve is \\(tan \\phi\\) = \\(m_1 – m_2\\over 1 + m_1 m_2\\)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Orthogonal Curves <\/h3>\n

If the angle of two curves is at right angle, the two curves are equal to intersect orthogonally and the curves are called orthogonal curves.<\/p>\n

\n

If the curves are orthogonal then \\(\\phi\\) = \\(\\pi\\over 2\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\therefore\\) \\(m_1 m_2\\) = -1<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note<\/strong> : Two curves \\(ax^2 + by^2\\) = 1 and \\(a’x^2 + b’y^2\\) = 1 will intersect orthogonally, if<\/p>\n

\n

\\(1\\over a\\) – \\(1\\over b\\) = \\(1\\over a’\\) – \\(1\\over b’\\)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Example<\/strong><\/span> : find the angle between the curves xy = 6 and \\(x^2 y\\) =12.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/span><\/strong> : The equation of the two curves are<\/p>\n

xy = 6          …….(i)<\/p>\n

and, \\(x^2 y\\) = 12            …………(ii)<\/p>\n

from (i) , we obtain y = \\(6\\over x\\). Putting this value of y in (ii), we obtain<\/p>\n

\\(x^2\\) \\((6\\over x)\\) = 12 \\(\\implies\\) 6x = 12 <\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) x = 2<\/p>\n

Putting x = 2 in (i)  or (ii), we get y = 3. <\/p>\n

Thus, the two curves intersect at P(2, 3).<\/p>\n

Differentiating (i) with respect to x, we get<\/p>\n

x\\(dy\\over dx\\) + y = 0 \\(\\implies\\) \\(dy\\over dx\\) = \\(-y\\over x\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) \\(m_1\\) = \\(({dy\\over dx})_{(2, 3)}\\) = \\(-3\\over 2\\)<\/p>\n

Differentiating (ii) with respect to x, we get<\/p>\n

\\(x^2\\) \\(dy\\over dx\\) + 2xy  = 0 \\(\\implies\\) \\(dy\\over dx\\) = \\(-2y\\over x\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) \\(m_2\\) = \\(({dy\\over dx})_{(2, 3)}\\) = -3<\/p>\n

Let \\(\\theta\\) be the angle, then<\/p>\n

\\(tan \\theta\\) = \\(m_1 – m_2\\over 1 + m_1 m_2\\) = \\(3\\over 11\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\theta\\) = \\(tan^{-1} (3\/11)\\)<\/p>\n
