The curve is such that the length of the...

The curve is such that the length of the perpendicular from the origin on the tangent at any point `P` of the curve is equal to the abscissa of`Pdot` Prove that the differential equation of the curve is`y^2-2x y(dy)/(dx)-x^2=0,` and hence find the curve.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The tangent at` P(x, y)` is
` Y-y=((dy) / (dx))(X-x)`
If p be the length of perpendicular from the origin, then
`p=|frac{x frac{d y}{d x}-y}{sqrt{1+(frac{d y}{d x})^{2}}}|`
