Prove that the curves xy = 4 and x2 + y2 = 8 touch each other.

Given bends are conditions of two circles,

\[xy\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }\ldots \text{ }..\text{ }\left( I \right)\] and

\[x2\text{ }+\text{ }y2\text{ }=\text{ }8\text{ }\ldots \text{ }.\text{ }\left( ii \right)\]

Distinctive condition (I) w.r.t., x
