The differential equation $y \frac{dy}{dx} + x = C$ represents
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → family of circles ##
Given that, $y \frac{dy}{dx} + x = C$
$\Rightarrow y \frac{dy}{dx} = C - x$
$\Rightarrow y \cdot dy = (C - x) \, dx$
On integrating both sides, we get
$\frac{y^2}{2} = Cx - \frac{x^2}{2} + K$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{y^2}{2} = Cx + K$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{y^2}{2} - Cx = K$
$\Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 2Cx = 2K$
which represent family of circles.
