Find the particular solution of the differential equation
, given that y = 0, when x = 1
OR
Obtain the differential equation of all circles of radius r.
Given: Differential equation is homogeneous
Proof:
Given differential equation is
![]()
![]()
…(i)
Putting y = vx
or
…(ii)
Differentiating on both sides with respect to x
![]()
![]()
So, eq. (i) become

![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Integrating both the sides, we get
…(i)
Solving
using integrating by parts
Taking e-v as first function and sin v as second function
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Substituting the value of
in eq. (i) we get
![]()
![]()
⇒ e-v [cos v + sin v] = 2(log x + C)
⇒ e-v [cos v + sin v] = log x2 + 2C
⇒ e-v [cos v + sin v] = log x2 + C’
As we previously let ![]()
![]()
For x = 1 and y = 0
![]()
⇒ e0 = C’ [∵ log (1) = 0]
⇒ C’ = 1 [∵ e0 = 1]
Substituting the value of C’, we get
![]()
which is the required solution.
OR
Given: Equation of family of circle, (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 … (i)
Clearly, the given equation have two arbitrary constants, so we differentiate twice with respect to x
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Now, again differentiating with respect to x, we get
![]()
![]()
⇒ 1 – 0 + (y – b)y’’+ y’(y’ – 0) = 0
⇒ 1 + (y – b)y’’ + (y’)2 = 0
⇒ (y – b)y’’ = – (y’)2 – 1
…(ii)
Substituting the value of (x – a) and (y – b) in eq. (i), we get


[from (ii)]
![]()
![]()
⇒ [(y’)2 + 1]3 = r2(y’’)2
which is the required differential equation
