Find the angle to intersection of the following curves :

x2 + 4y2 = 8 and x2 – 2y2 = 2

Given:


Curves x2 + 4y2 = 8 ...(1)


& x2 – 2y2 = 2 ...(2)


Solving (1) & (2),we get,


from 2nd curve,


x2 = 2 + 2y2


Substituting on x2 + 4y2 = 8,


2 + 2y2 + 4y2 = 8


6y2 = 6


y2 = 1


y = ±1


Substituting on y = ±1,we get,


x2 = 2 + 2(±1)2


x2 = 4


x = ±2


The point of intersection of two curves (2,1) & ( – 2, – 1)


Now ,Differentiating curves (1) & (2) w.r.t x, we get


x2 + 4y2 = 8


2x + 8y. = 0


8y. = – 2x


...(3)


x2 – 2y2 = 2


2x – 4y.0


x – 2y.0
