Detailed Solution

Given y=x2-1 and y=x2-3

There will be two intersection points when 1<x<3 and -3<x<-1 .

when 1<x<3:-  y=x2-1 and y=3-x2

For both curves to intersect 

x2-1=3-x2 2x2=4 x=±2

x=-2 can't be the point as 1<x<3 .

So x=2

Now , y=x2-1y=(2)2-1=2-1=1

Slpoe of y=x2-1 at the point (2, 1) be m1 .

m2=dydxdydx=-2xm2=-2(2)=-22

Therefore m1=22 and m2=-22

We know that, the angle between two lines having slope m1 and m2 (be θ) then;

tanθ=m2-m11+m1m2

Here, m1=22 and m2=-22

tanθ=-22-221-(22)(22) tanθ=-42-7tanθ=427 θ=tan-1427

Therefore, The acute angle between the curves y=x2-1 and y=x2-3 at their point of intersection is tan-1427
