Question

The curve y = f (x) is such that the area of the trapezium formed by the coordinate axes, ordinate of an arbitrary point and the tangent at this point equals half the square of its abscissa. The equation of the curve can be

Solution

The correct option is A y=cx2±x
Let P (x, y) be any point on the curve. Length of intercept on y-axis by any tangent at P is

OT=yxdydx
Area of trapezium OLPTO =12(PL+OT)OL
=12(y+yxdydx)x=12(2yxdydx)x
According to question
Area of trapezium OLPTO =12x2
i.e.,12(2yxdydx)x=±12x2
2yxdydx=±x or dydx2yx=±1
Which is linear differential equation and I.F.=e21nx=1x2
The solution is yx2=±1x2dx+c=±1x+c
y=±x+cx2 or y=cx2±x, where c is an arbitrary constant
