Find the condition for the following set of curves to interest orthogonally.
and
Given:
Curves 1 ...(1)
& 1 ...(2)
First curve is 1
Differentiating above w.r.t x,
⇒ .
= 0
⇒ .
⇒
⇒
⇒ m1 ...(3)
Second curve is 1
Differentiating above w.r.t x,
⇒ .
= 0
⇒ .
⇒
⇒
⇒ m1 ...(4)
When m1 & m2 =
Since ,two curves intersect orthogonally,
⇒ ×
= – 1
⇒ ×
= – 1
⇒ ...(5)
Now equation (1) – (2) gives
⇒ x2() – y2(
) = 0
⇒ x2() = y2(
)
⇒
⇒
⇒
Substituting from equation (5),we get
⇒
⇒ – 1
⇒ ( – 1)(A2 – a2) = (B2 – b2)
⇒ a2 – A2 = B2 – b2
⇒ a2 + b2 = B2 + A2
