Hyperbola in conic sections

Question

At the point of intersection of the rectangular hyperbolaxy=c2 and the parabola y2=4ax tangents to the 

 rectangular hyperbola and the parabola make angles θ and ϕ , respectively with x -axis, then 

Moderate
Solution

 Let x1,y1 be point of intersection. 

    y12=4ax1,x1y1=c2 For     y2=4ax

mTx1,y1=2ay1=tanϕ For xy=c2,MTx1,y1=y1x1=tanθ

 So      tanθtanϕ=y122ax1=4ax12ax1=2 So  θ=tan1(2tanϕ)
