Show that the family of curves for which the slope of the tangent at any point (x, y) on it is `(x^2+y^2)/(2x y)` , is given by `x^2" -"y^2=" "c x` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`y^2-x^2=cx`

We know that the slop of the tangent at any point on a curve is `(dy)/(dx)` Therefore,

`(dy)/(dx)=(x^2+y^2)(2 x y)`

` (d y)/(d x)=(1+(y^2)/(x^2))((2 y)/(x))---(1)`

Clearly, equation `(1)` is a homogeneous differential equation. To solve it we make substitution

`Let (y)=(vx)`

`(d y)/(d x)=v+x (d v)/(d x)`

Putting the value of `y` and `(d y)/(d x)` in equation `(1)`, we get

`v+x (d v)/(d x)=(1+v^2)/(2 v)`
