Form the differential equation of the family of circles touching the y-axis at origin
Official Solution
.: Let $C$ denote the family of circles touching
y-axis at the origin.
Let $\left( {a,0} \right)$
be the co-ordinates of the centre of any member
of the family.
Therefore, equation of family $C$ is
${\left( {x - a} \right)^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$
or ${x^2} + {y^2} = 2ax$
…(1)
where, a is any arbitrary constant.
Differentiating (1) w.r.t. $x$,
we get
$2x + 2y\cfrac{{dy}}{{d\mathfrak{r}}} = 2a \Rightarrow x + y\cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}} = a$
…(2)
Substituting the value of $a$ from (2) in (1),
we get
${x^2} + {y^2} = 2x\left( {x + y\cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right) \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} = 2{x^2} + 2xy\cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} - 2{x^2} = 2xy{y_1} \Rightarrow 2xy{y_1} + {x^2} = {y^2}$
which is required differential equaiton.
