Answer :
If the two curve touch each other then the tangent at their intersecting point formed a angle of 0.
We have to find the intersecting point of these two curves.
xy = a2 and x2 + y2 = 2a2
⇒
⇒ x4 – 2a2x2 + a4 = 0
⇒ (x2 – a2) = 0
⇒ x = +a and -a
At x = a, y = a
At x = -a, y = -a
m1 at (a, a) = -1
m1 at (-a, -a) = -1
m2 at (a, a) = -1
m2 at (-a, -a) = -1
At (a, a)
⇒ θ = 0
At (-a, -a)
⇒ θ = 0
So, we can say that two curves touch each other because the angle between two tangent at their intersecting point is equal to 0.
