Question
Find the differential equation of all the parabolas whose axes are parallel to the x-axis and latus rectum equal to a.
Open in App
Solution
The differential equation of all parabolas whose axis are parallel to the x-axis and have latus rectum a is
(
y
−
β
)
2
=
a
(
x
−
α
)
Let two constant
α
&
β
Thus we have to differentiate it twice
Differentiate both sides

Differentiating equation
(

)
w.r.t. to x.
We get
