The differential equation y d y d x +x= crepresents
Options
- Aa family of hyperbolas
- Ba family of circles whose centres are on the axis
- Ca family of parabolas
- Da family of circles whose centres are on the axis
Correct answer
D. a family of circles whose centres are on the axis
Step-by-step solution
Given differential equation is aligned y d y d x +x &=c y d y &=(c-x) d x aligned On integrating both sides, we get aligned y² 2 &=c x- x² 2 +d y²+x²-2 c x-2 d &=0 aligned Hence, it represents a family of circles whose centres are on the x -axis.
