if the curves y2=4ax and xy=c2 cut at right angles ,prove that

C4=32a4

let x1,y1 be the point of intersection for both the curves

y2 = 4ax => dy/dx = 2a/y = 2a/y1 = m1 (say)

from second

xy = c2 => dy/dx = -y/x = -y1/x1 = m2 (say)

Now, m1.m2 = -1 (since they intersect orthogonally)

=> x1 = 2a

Again from second,

x1y1 = c2 => y1 = c2/x  [since x1, y1 lies on it]

putting in first we get

c4 = 4ax13 = 4a x 8a3 = 32 a4

or, c4 = 32a4 done... !!
