The differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\sqrt{1-y^2}}{y}$ determine a family of circles with |
variable radii and fixed centre at (0, 1) variable radii and a fixed centre at (0, -1) fixed radius 1 and variable centre along the x-axis fixed radius 1 and variable centre along the y-axis |
fixed radius 1 and variable centre along the x-axis |
The correct answer is option (3) : fixed radius 1 and variable centre along the x-axis The given differential equation is $\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{\sqrt{1-y^2}}{y}$ $⇒\frac{-y}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}dy =-dx$ $⇒\sqrt{1-y^2}=-x+C$ $⇒1-y^2 = (x-C)^2 ⇒(x-C)^2+y^2=1$ Clearly, it represents a family of circles of fixed radius 1 and variable centre (C, 0) along the x-axis. |
