Question

Form the differential equation of the family of hyperbolas having foci on x-axis and centre at origin.

Answer 1

The equation of the family of hyperbolas with the centre at origin and foci along the x-axis is:

Differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to x, we get:

Again, differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

Substituting the value ofin equation (2), we get:

This is the required differential equation.
