If θ denotes the acute angle between the curves, then , tanθ = 8/15
- tanθ = ,
Where,
- m1 = Slope of the first curve
- m2 = Slope of the second curve
First lets find the point of intersection of the two curves,
- y = 10 - and y = 2 +
- 10 - = 2 +
- 2 = 8
- = 4
- x = ± 2
- y = 10 - = 6
- Hence the point of intersection of the 2 curves is (-2,6) and (+2,6)
Lets find the slope.
- m1 = = -2x ==> -4 at (2,6) and 4 at (-2,6)
- m2 = = 2x ==> 4 at (2,6) and -4 at (-2,6)
Consider (2,6)
- tanθ = , = = = 8/15
(-2,6) will also give the same answer
Answer is option B
