The differential equation of family of circles with fixed radius 5 units and centre on the line $y=2$, is |
$(y-2)^2 y^{\prime 2}=25-(y-2)^2$ $(x-2)^2 y^{\prime 2}=25-(y-2)^2$ $(x-2) y^{\prime 2}=25-(y-2)^2$ $(y-2) y^{\prime 2}=25-(y-2)^2$ |
$(y-2)^2 y^{\prime 2}=25-(y-2)^2$ |
Let $(a, 2)$ be the centre of the circle, where 'a' is a variable. Then, the equation of the family of circles is $(x-a)^2+(y-2)^2=5^2$ ......(i) Differentiating w.r. to $x$, we get $2(x-a)+2(y-2) \frac{d y}{d x} \Rightarrow x-a=-(y-2) y_1$ Substituting this value of $(x-a)$ in (i), we get $(y-2)^2 y_1^2=25-(y-2)^2$ as the required differential equation. |
