The two curves $x^3-3 x y^2+5=0$ and $3 x^2 y-y^3-7=0$
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Differentiating $x^3-3 x y^2+5=0$, we get
$3 x^2-3 y^2-6 x y \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{x^2-y^2}{2 x y}$
Differentiating $3 x^2 y-y^3-7=0$, we get
$6 x y+3 x^2 \frac{d y}{d x}-3 y^2 \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 x y}{y^2-x^2}$
Since, product of slopes is $\frac{x^2-y^2}{2 x y} \times \frac{2 x y}{y^2-x^2}=-1$
∴ The two curves cut at right angle.
