Find the differential equation by eliminating arbitrary constants from the relation x2 + y2 = 2ax

Solution

Given relation is

x2 + y2 = 2ax     .....(i)

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

2x + 2y ("d"y)/("d"x) = 2a    ......(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i), we get

x2 + y2 = (2x+ 2y ("d"y)/("d"x))x

∴ x2 + y2 = 2x^2+ 2xy ("d"y)/("d"x)

∴ 2xy ("d"y)/("d"x) = y2 – x2, which is the required differential equation.
