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... !!
