When are the points of intersection of two real affine conics orthogonal to each other?

62 Views Asked by At

Show that the lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of two curves $ax^2+2hxy+by^2+2gx=0$ and $a_1x^2+2h_1xy+b_1y^2+2g_1x=0$ will be at right angles to one another if $g(a_1+b_1)=g_1(a+b)$.

My approach:

$$\begin{eqnarray} \tag {1} ax^2+2hxy+by^2+2gx=0 \\ \tag {2} a_1x^2+2h_1xy+b_1y^2+2g_1x=0 \end{eqnarray}$$

From equation (2),

$$2x=\frac {a_1x^2+2h_1xy+b_1y^2}{g_1}$$

I could not move on from here. Please help me to continue.

You need first to eliminate the $x$ term from the equations, so that the equation is homogeneous. Multiply the first equation by $g_1$ and the second equation by $g$ and subtract.

You then have $$x^2(g_1a-ga_1)+2xy(g_1h-gh_1)+y^2(g_1b-gb_1)=0$$

The gradient from the origin to $(x,y)$ is $\frac yx=m$ so we divide by $x^2$ and write this equation as a quadratic in $m$.

For the perpendicularity condition we require the product of the roots to be $-1$, so putting that in terms of the coefficients, we get $$\frac{g_1a-ga_1}{g_1b-gb_1}=-1$$

This leads immediately to the result you are looking for.

I hope this helps
