The correct Answer is:
To find the orthogonal trajectories of the family of curves given by the equation: \[ x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} = a^{2/3} \] where \( a \) is an arbitrary constant, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the given equation We start by differentiating the equation with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2/3}) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^{2/3}) = \frac{d}{dx}(a^{2/3}) \] Since \( a \) is a constant, its derivative is zero. Thus, we have: \[ \frac{2}{3} x^{-1/3} + \frac{2}{3} y^{-1/3} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \frac{2}{3} y^{-1/3} \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{3} x^{-1/3} \] Now, we can cancel \( \frac{2}{3} \) from both sides: \[ y^{-1/3} \frac{dy}{dx} = -x^{-1/3} \] ### Step 3: Express \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) Now, we can express \(\frac{dy}{dx}\): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y^{1/3}}{x^{1/3}} \] ### Step 4: Finding the orthogonal trajectories The slopes of the orthogonal trajectories are the negative reciprocals of the slopes of the original curves. Thus, we have: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^{1/3}}{y^{1/3}} \] ### Step 5: Separate variables We can separate the variables: \[ y^{1/3} dy = x^{1/3} dx \] ### Step 6: Integrate both sides Now, we integrate both sides: \[ \int y^{1/3} dy = \int x^{1/3} dx \] Using the integration formula \(\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C\): \[ \frac{y^{4/3}}{4/3} = \frac{x^{4/3}}{4/3} + C \] This simplifies to: \[ y^{4/3} = x^{4/3} + C \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives us the final form of the orthogonal trajectories: \[ x^{4/3} - y^{4/3} = C \] ### Conclusion Thus, the orthogonal trajectories of the given family of curves are represented by the equation: \[ x^{4/3} - y^{4/3} = C \]
