If the curve $ay+x^2=7$ and $x^3=y$ cut orthogonally at $(1,1)$, then the value of $a$ is
Solution
From $ay+x^2=7$:
$a\dfrac{dy}{dx}+2x=0$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{2x}{a}$
From $y=x^3$:
$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=3x^2$
At $(1,1)$:
$m_1=-\dfrac{2}{a},\quad m_2=3$
For orthogonal curves:
$m_1m_2=-1$
$-\dfrac{2}{a}\times3=-1$
$\Rightarrow a=6$
