The degree and order of the differential equation of the family of all parabolas whose axis is x -axis, are respectively
Options
- A2,1
- B1,2
- C3,2
- D2,3
Correct answer
A. 2,1
Step-by-step solution
Let the equation of parabola whose axis is x -axis, is y^2= 4 a(x-h) On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get aligned & 2 y y₁= 4 a & y y₁= 2 a aligned Again differentiating, we get (y₁ )^2+y y₂=0 Hence, order and degree are respectively 1 and 2.
