III) Find the angle of intersection of the following pairs of

curves
1. r = sinθ + cosθ and r = 2sinθ (Jan-2020)
Solution:
Taking logarithms on both sides, logr = log (sinθ + cosθ)
Differentiating with respect to θ we get
1 dr cosθ−sinθ
r dθ
= sinθ+cosθ
cosθ(1−tanθ)
cotϕ1 = cosθ(1+tanθ)
cotϕ1 = cot( Π4 + θ) ⇒ ϕ1 = Π

Now from second curve we get logr = log 2 + logsinθ
1 dr
r dθ
= 0 + cosθ
sinθ
cotϕ2 = cotθ ⇒ ϕ2 = θ
Therefore ϕ = |ϕ1 − ϕ2 | = | Π4 + θ − θ| = Π

Thus the angle of intersection is 4

Solution:
Taking logarithms on both sides, logr = loga + log (log θ)

cotϕ1 = θlog θ
⇒ tanϕ1 = θlog θ
Now from second curve we get logr = loga − log (log θ)
1 dr
r dθ
= 0 − log1θ·θ

cotϕ2 = − θlog θ
⇒ tanϕ2 = −θlog θ
tanϕ1 −tanϕ2
Therefore tanϕ = tan|ϕ1 − ϕ2 | = |tan(ϕ1 − ϕ2 )| = | 1+tanϕ 1 ·tanϕ2
|
θlog θ+θlog θ 2θlog θ
tanϕ = | 1−θlog θ·θlog θ

We have to find θ by solving the given pair of equations.

r = alog θ and r = log θ
a
alog θ = log θ
⇒ (log θ)2 = 1 ⇒ θ = e
Substituting θ = e in (1) we get,

tanϕ = 1−e 2
Thus the angle of intersection is ϕ = tan−1 ( 1−e

3. r = a(1 + cosθ) and r 2 = a2 cos2θ
Solution:
Taking logarithms we get, logr = loga + log (1 + cosθ)
1 dr −sinθ
r dθ
= 0 + 1+cosθ
−2sin( θ2 )cos( θ2 )
cotϕ1 = 2cos 2 ( θ2 )
= −tan( 2θ ) = cot( Π2 + 2θ )
ϕ1 = Π2 + 2θ
Now from second curve we get 2logr = 2loga + logcos2θ
2 dr
r dθ
= 0 + −2sin2θ
cos2θ
cotϕ2 = −tan2θ = cot( Π2 + 2θ) ⇒ ϕ2 = Π2 + 2θ
Therefore ϕ = |ϕ1 − ϕ2 | = | Π2 + 2θ − Π2 − 2θ| = 3θ
2
.......(1)
r = a(1 + cosθ) and r 2 = a2 cos2θ
a2 (1 + cosθ)2 = a2 cos2θ
1 + 2cosθ + cos 2 θ = 2cos 2 θ − 1
cos 2 θ − 2cosθ −2=√ 0

cosθ = 2
= 2
= 1 ± 3
Since cosθ cannot exceed 1 numerically we have to take
√ √
cosθ = 1 − 3 ⇒ θ = cos −1 (1 − 3)
√
Thus the angle of intersection is ϕ = 32 cos −1 (1 − 3).

Thus the angle of intersection is ϕ = tan−1 (3).
5. r = aθ and r = θa
Solution:
Taking logarithms we get, logr = loga + log θ
1 dr
r dθ
= 0 + 1θ
cotϕ1 = 1θ
tanϕ1 = θ
Now from second curve we get logr = loga − log θ
1 dr
r dθ

tanϕ2 = −θ
tanϕ1 −tanϕ2
Therefore tanϕ = |tan(ϕ1 − ϕ2 )| = | 1+tanϕ 1 tanϕ2
|
2θ
tanϕ = | 1−θ 2 |.......(1)

aθ = θa
θ2 = 1 ⇒ θ = ±1
2(−1) − Π
Therefore tanϕ = | 1−(−1) 2 | = ∞ ⇒ ϕ = tan 1(∞) = 2
Thus the angle of intersection is ϕ = Π2 .
