Find the condition for the following set of curves to interest orthogonally.

and xy = c2

Given:


Curves 1 ...(1)


& xy = c2 ...(2)


First curve is 1


Differentiating above w.r.t x,


. = 0


.




m1 ...(3)


Second curve is xy = c2


⇒ ⇒ 1×y + x. = 0


x. = – y


m2 ...(4)


When m1 & m2 =


Since ,two curves intersect orthogonally,



× = – 1


= 1


a2 = b2
