Solution

Let the equation of the circle be ax2 + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 - - - - - - - (1)

Equation of the rectangular hyperbola x y = c2

solving equation (1) & (2)

y = c2x

x2 + c4x2 + 2gx + 2fc2x + c = 0

x4 + 2gx3 + cx2 + 2fc2x + c4 = 0

then product of the roots of the above equation.

x1 .x2 .x3. x4 = c41

ct1 .ct2 .ct3 .ct4 = c4

c4 .t1 .t2 .t3 t4= c4

t1 .t2 .t3 t4= 1
