Which of the following pairs of curves intersect orthogonally (c and k are arbitrary constants)?

  1. 16x² + y² = c and y¹⁶ = kx
  2. y = x + c*e^-x and x + 2 = y + k*e^-y
  3. x = c*x² and x² + 2y² = k
  4. x² - y² = c and xy = k

Correct answer: x² - y² = c and xy = k

Solution

For x² - y² = c, dy/dx = x/y; for xy = k, dy/dx = -y/x. Their product is -1, so these orthogonal-hyperbola families cut at right angles.
