=
8
touch each other.

Solution
Given curves are
x
y
=
4
......
(
1
)
x
2
+
y
2
=
8
.....
(
2
)
We need to find the point of intersection of curves.
From
(
1
)
y
=
4
x
Substituting this in
(
2
)
we get,
⇒
x
2
+
16
x
2
=
8
⇒
x
4
−
8
x
2
+
16
=
0
⇒
(
x
2
−
4
)
2
=
0
⇒
x
2
=
4
⇒
x
=
±
2
Using
(
1
)
we get
y
=
±
2
Therefore points of intersection are
(
2
,
2
)
,
(
−
2
,
−
2
)
Differentiating curve 1 we get
⇒
y
+
x
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
0
⇒
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
−
y
x
At
(
2
,
2
)
,
(
−
2
,
−
2
)
⇒
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
−
1
Differentiating curve 2 we get
⇒
2
x
+
2
y
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
0
⇒
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
−
x
y
At
(
2
,
2
)
,
(
−
2
,
−
2
)
⇒
(
d
y
d
x
)
=
−
1
Thus we can say that the 2 curves touch each other at their point of intersection.
