Understanding Angles of Intersection

The video tutorial explains how to find the angle of intersection between two curves by determining the slopes of their tangent lines at the intersection point. It uses vectors to calculate the angle and discusses both the obtuse and acute angles of intersection. The process involves finding derivatives, using vector dot products, and applying trigonometric functions to solve for the angle in radians.

What is the main goal when finding the angle of intersection between two curves?

• To find the point where the curves meet

• To find the maximum distance between the curves
