Question. Find the D.E. of all the parabolas with latus rectum \( 4a \) and whose axes are parallel to \( x \)-axis.
Answer: Equation of parabola is given by \[ (y - k)^2 = 4a(x - h) \dots\dots (i) \] Where \( h, k \) are parameters Diff. w.r.t \( x \)

\(\Rightarrow 2(y - k)\frac{dy}{dx} = 4a(1 - 0) \)
\(\Rightarrow (y - k)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2a \dots\dots (ii) \) Diff. w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow (y - k)\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = 0 \dots\dots (iii) \) From eq. (ii) \( (y - k) = \frac{2a}{\frac{dy}{dx}} \) put in eq. (iii)
\(\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2a}{\frac{dy}{dx}}\right) \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right) + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow 2a\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^3 = 0 \) ans.
Question. Show that the D.E. representing one parameter family of curves \( (x^2 - y^2) = c (x^2 + y^2)^2 \) is \( (x^3 - 3xy^2)dx = (y^3 - 3x^2y)dy \).
Answer: We have, \( (x^2 - y^2) = c(x^2 + y^2)^2 \dots\dots (i) \) Diff. w.r.t. \( x \),
\(\Rightarrow 2x - 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 2c(x^2 + y^2) \cdot \left(2x + 2y\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \)
\(\Rightarrow x - y\frac{dy}{dx} = 2c(x^2 + y^2) \cdot \left(x + y\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \) Put value of \( c = \frac{x^2 - y^2}{(x^2 + y^2)^2} \) from (i) in equation (ii)
\(\Rightarrow x - y\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\frac{(x^2 - y^2)}{(x^2 + y^2)^2} \cdot (x^2 + y^2) \left(x + y\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \)
\(\Rightarrow (x^2 + y^2) \left(x - y\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 2(x^2 - y^2) \left(x + y\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \)
\(\Rightarrow x^3 - x^2y\frac{dy}{dx} + y^2x - y^3\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x^3 + 2x^2y\frac{dy}{dx} - 2y^2x - 2y^3\frac{dy}{dx} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} \left(-x^2y - y^3 - 2x^2y + 2y^3\right) = 2x^3 - 2y^2x - x^3 - y^2x \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} \left(y^3 - 3x^2y\right) = x^3 - 3y^2x \)
\(\Rightarrow (y^3 - 3x^2y)dy = (x^3 - 3y^2x)dx \) (proved)
Question. Find the D.E. of all non-vertical lines in a plane.
Answer: Let equation of line is given by
\(\Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 \dots\dots (i) \) where \( a \) & \( b \) are parameters Diff. w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \dots\dots (ii) \) Diff. again w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow 0 + \frac{1}{b}\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 0 \) ans.
Question. Show that \( xy = ae^x + be^{-x} + x^2 \) is a solution of the D.E. \( x\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + 2\frac{dy}{dx} - xy + x^2 - 2 = 0 \).
Answer: We have, \( xy = ae^x + be^{-x} + x^2 \dots\dots (i) \) Diff. w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = ae^x - be^{-x} + 2x \) Diff. again w.r.t \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow x\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + 2\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = ae^x + be^{-x} + 2 \)
\(\Rightarrow x\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + 2\frac{dy}{dx} = xy - x^2 + 2 \quad \{ \text{from eq. (i) } ae^x + be^{-x} = xy - x^2 \} \)
\(\Rightarrow x\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + 2\frac{dy}{dx} - xy + x^2 - 2 = 0 \)
\( \therefore \) the given function is a solution of the given D.E. ans.
Question. Verify that the function \( y = c_1e^{ax} \cos(bx) + c_2e^{ax} \sin(bx) \); \( c_1 \) & \( c_2 \) are arbitrary constants is a, solution of the D.E. \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - 2a\frac{dy}{dx} + (a^2 + b^2)y = 0 \).
Answer: We have, \( y = c_1e^{ax} \cos(bx) + c_2e^{ax} \sin(bx) \)
\(\Rightarrow y = e^{ax} \cdot (c_1 \cos(bx) + c_2 \sin(bx)) \dots\dots (i) \) Diff. w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = e^{ax}(-bc_1 \sin(bx) + bc_2 \cos(bx)) + (c_1 \cos(bx) + c_2 \sin(bx)) \cdot e^{ax} \cdot a \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = e^{ax} \cdot (-bc_1 \sin(bx) + bc_2 \cos(bx)) + ay \dots\dots \{ \text{from eq. (i)} \} \dots\dots (ii) \) Diff. again w.r.t. \( x \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = e^{ax} (-b^2c_1 \cos(bx) - b^2c_2 \sin(bx)) + (-bc_1 \sin(bx) + bc_2 \cos(bx)) \cdot e^{ax} \cdot a + a\frac{dy}{dx} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -b^2e^{ax}(c_1 \cos(bx) + c_2 \sin(bx)) + \left(\frac{dy}{dx} - ay\right) a + a\frac{dy}{dx} \dots\dots \{ \text{from eq. (ii)} \} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -b^2y + a\frac{dy}{dx} - a^2y + a\frac{dy}{dx} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - 2a\frac{dy}{dx} + (a^2 + b^2)y = 0 \)
Hence the given function is the solution of the given differential equation. ans.
Question. Show that \( y = cx + \frac{a}{c} \) is a solution of the D.E. \( y = x\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{a}{\frac{dy}{dx}} \).
Answer: We have, \( y = cx + \frac{a}{c} \dots\dots (i) \) Diff. \( \frac{dy}{dx} = c \) Taking RHS
\( x\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{a}{\frac{dy}{dx}} \)
\( = xc + \frac{a}{c} \)
\( = y \dots\dots (\text{from eq. (i)}) = \text{LHS} \)
\( \therefore \) given function is a solution of the given D.E.
Question. Show that the function defined by \( y = \sin x - \cos x, x \in R \) is a solution of the initial value problem \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \sin x + \cos x ; y(0) = -1 \).
Answer: We have, \( y = \sin x - \cos x \) Diff. w.r.t. \( x \)
\( \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x + \sin x \), which is the given D.E.
Thus, \( y = \sin x - \cos x \) satisfies the D.E., hence it is a solution.
Also, when \( x = 0 \); \( y = \sin 0 - \cos 0 = -1 \) i.e., \( y(0) = -1 \)
Hence, \( y = \sin x - \cos x \) is a solution of the given initial value problem.
