The differential equation of rectangular hyperbolas whose axes are asymptotes of the hyperbola $x^2-y^2=a^2$, is |
$y \frac{d y}{d x}=x$ $x \frac{d y}{d x}=-y$ $x \frac{d y}{d x}=y$ $x d y+y d x=C$ |
$x \frac{d y}{d x}=-y$ |
The equation of the rectangular hyperbola whose axes are asymptotes of the hyperbola $x^2-y^2=a^2$ is $x y=c^2$, where $c^2=a^2 / 2$ This is a one parameter family of curves. Differentiating with respect to $x$, we get $x \frac{d y}{d x}+y=0 \Rightarrow x \frac{d y}{d x}=-y$ |
