Question

If the curves y2 = 6x, 9x2 + by2 = 16 intersect each other at right angles, then the value of b 
is :

Options

A.

7/2

B.

4

C.

9/2

D.

6

Solution


Let curve intersect each other at point P(x1, y1)
y12=6x1     ..... (i)
9x12+by 12=16     ..... (ii)
Now differentiate both curve and get slope of
tangent to both curve at point P(x1, y1)
   dydx(x, y)=m1=3y1   ..... (iii)
&   dydx(x1, y1)=m2=9x1by1      ..... (iv)
   m1m2 = - 27x1by12=1
 from equation (i) b = 92
