Q.3 (C) (ii) Obtain the differential equation from the relation \(Ax^2+By^2=1\), where A and B are constants.

Solution : The given equation is \(Ax^2+By^2=1\) .....(I)

Differentiating equation (I) w.r.t. x, we get \(\square\,x+2By\frac{dy}{dx}=0\), i.e. \(Ax+By\frac{dy}{dx}=0\) .....(II)

Differentiating equation (II) w.r.t. x, we get \(A+B\,\square=0\) .....(III)

Since equations (I), (II) and (III) are consistent in A and B, \(\begin{vmatrix}x^2 & y^2 & 1\\ x & y\frac{dy}{dx} & 0\\ 1 & \square & 0\end{vmatrix}=0\)

\(\therefore \left\{x\left[y\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right]-y\frac{dy}{dx}\right\}=0\)

\(\therefore \square+x\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2-y\frac{dy}{dx}=0\)

Answer: \(xy\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+x\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2-y\frac{dy}{dx}=0\)

Completed boxes:

  • First derivative: \(2Ax+2By\frac{dy}{dx}=0\), so the box is \(2A\).
  • Differentiating \(Ax+By\frac{dy}{dx}=0\): \(A+B\left[y\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right]=0\), so the box in (III) and in the determinant is \(y\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\).
  • Expanding the determinant along the third column: \(1\cdot\left\{x\left[y\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right]-y\frac{dy}{dx}\right\}=0\), so the last box is \(xy\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\).

The required differential equation is \(xy\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+x\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2-y\frac{dy}{dx}=0\).
