Differential Equations 1 Question 18

18. Let y=f(x) be a curve passing through (1,1) such that the triangle formed by the coordinate axes and the tangent at any point of the curve lies in the first quadrant and has area 2 unit. Form the differential equation and determine all such possible curves.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 18. (b)

Solution:

  1. Equation of tangent to the curve y=f(x) at point

whose, x-intercept xydxdy,0

y-intercept 0,yxdydx

Given, OPQ=2

12xydxdyyxdydx=2

xy1p(yxp)=4, where p=dydx

p2x22pxy+4p+y2=0

(ypx)2+4p=0

ypx=2p

y=px+2p

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

p=p+dpdxx+212(p)1/2(1)dpdxdpdxx(p)1/2=0dpdx=0 or x=(p)1/2 If dpdx=0p=c

On putting this value in Eq. (i), we get y=cx+2c

This curve passes through (1,1).

1=c+2cc=1y=x+2x+y=2

Again, if x=(p)1/2

p=1x2 putting in Eq. (i)

y=xx2+21xxy=1

Thus, the two curves are xy=1 and x+y=2.
