Differential Equations Question 97

Question: The differential equation of the family of curves represented by the equation $ x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2} $ is

Options:

A) $ x+y\frac{dy}{dx}=0 $

B) $ y\frac{dy}{dx}=x $

C) $ y\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}}=0 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Given equation $ x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2} $ . Differentiate it w.r.t. x, we get $ 2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0 $

Therefore $ x+y\frac{dy}{dx}=0 $ .
