DIFFERENTIATING EQUATIONS TO RELATE RATES
A rotated ellipse C whose equation is x2 − xy + y 2 = 4 . Show that the line y = x intersects C at
two points P and Q and that the tangent lines to C at P and Q are parallel.
Solution
x2 − xy + y 2 = 4 ............ eq(1)
Putting y=x in equation (1) =⇒
x2 − x2 + x2 = 4 OR x2 = 4 =⇒ x = 2, x = −2
Putting values of x =2 in equation (1)
22 − 2y + y 2 = 4 =⇒ 4 − 2y + y 2 = 4 =⇒ −2y + y 2 = 4 − 4 =⇒ y 2 − 2y = 0
=⇒ y(y − 2) = 0 =⇒ y = 0 Or y = 2.
Similarly putting x = −2 in equation (1)
(−2)2 + 2y + y 2 = 4 =⇒ 4 + 2y + y 2 = 4 =⇒ y 2 + 2y = 0
y(y + 2) = 0 −→ y = 0 Or y = −2
Since x = y =⇒ Only possible values are
(2, 2) and (−2, −2)
. Let (2, 2) be the point P and (−2, −2) be the point Q where curve C intersect the line Now
