Form the differential equation of the family of circles touching the y-axis at origin.

NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 9 - Image 38

Solution:

assuming (p, 0) be the centre of the circle.

Therefore, it touches the y – axis at origin, its radius is p.

Since, the equation of the circle with centre (p, 0) and radius (p) is

   

Transposing p2 and – 2xp to RHS then it becomes – p2 and 2xp

   

differentiating equation (i) both sides,

   

substituting the value of ‘p’ in the equation, we get,

   

Hence, 2xyy’ + x2 = y2 is the required differential equation.
