Thanks jyu

but I did not understand the line

.: and the hyperbola must be tangential to the circle which requires

I gave got the point that if hyperbola is tangent then there is only point of intersection

but did not understand how can we get

Thanks

at the point (2 of them) of contact, y=x, the circle and the hyperbola are symmetrical about the line y=x, .: a=b

Thanks for answer

but i did not understand if circle and Rectangular hyperbola are symmetrical about

then how can i get

and (ii) doubt is how we can say that represent Rectangular Hyperbola

Sorry that I misled you. I wonder why my mistakes were not pointed out.

d^2=2a/(a+b) is ok. Points 0f contact of the 2 curves are at x=y=+/-sqrt(a/(a+b)), and gradient =-1.
Hence b=0 and d=sqrt2.

Yes I didnot understand how you get a = b, Now I understand that things

Thanks jyu.
