⇒dydx=x3−3xy2y3−3x2y..........(1)

This is a homogenous equation. To simplify it, we need to make the substitution as:

y=vx⇒ddx(y)=ddx(vx)⇒dydx=v+xdvdx

Substituting the values of y and dvdx in equation (1), we get:

v+xdvdx=x3−3x(vx)2(vx)3−3x2(vx)⇒v+xdvdx=1−3v2v3−3v⇒xdvdx=1−3v2v3−3v−v⇒xdvdx=1−3v2−v(v3−3v)v3−3v⇒xdvdx=1−v4v3−3v⇒(v3−3v1−v4)dv=dxx

Integrating both sides, we get:

∫(v3−3v1−v4)dv=logx+logC'.........(2)Now,∫(v3−3v1−v4)dv=∫v3dv1−v4−3∫vdv1−v4⇒∫(v3−3v1−v4)dv=I1−3I2,Where,I1=∫v3dv1−v4andI2=∫vdv1−v4...........(3)

Let,1−v4=t.∴ddv(1−v4)=dtdv⇒−4v3=dtdv⇒v3dv=−dt4Now,I1=∫−dt4=−logt=−14log(1−v4)

And,I2=∫vdv1−v4=∫vdv1−(v2)2Let,v2=p.∴ddv(v2)=dpdv⇒2v=dpdv⇒vdv=p2⇒I2=12∫dp1−p2=12×2log|1+p1−p|=14log|1+v21−v2|

Substituting the values of I1 and I2 in equation (3), we get:

∫(v3−3v1−v4)dv=−14log(1−v4)−34log|1+v21−v2|

Therefore, equation (2) becomes:

14log(1−v4)−34log|1+v21−v2|=logx+logC'⇒−14log[(1−v4)(1+v21−v2)]=logC'x⇒(1+v2)4(1−v2)2=(C'x)−4⇒(1+y2x2)4(1−y2x2)2=1C'4x4⇒(x2+y2)4x4(x2−y2)2=1C'4x4⇒(x2−y2)2=C'4(x2+y2)4⇒(x2−y2)=C'2(x2+y2)2⇒x2−y2=C(x2+y2)2,whereC=C'2

Hence, th

Equation of the given family of curves is  (x−a)2+2y2=a2

(x−a)2+2y2=a2⇒x2+a2−2ax+2y2=a2⇒2y2=2ax−x2..........(1)

Differentiating with respect to x, we get:

2ydydx=2a−2x2⇒dydx=a−x2y⇒dydx=2a−2x24xy..........(2)

From equation (*1), we get:

2ax=2y2+x2

On substituting this value in equation (3), we get:

dydx=2y2+x2−2x24xy⇒dydx=2y2−x24xy

Hence, the differential equation of the family of curves is given as dydx=2y2−x24xy

(i) yae2+be−x+x2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

dydx=addx(ex)+bddx(e−x)+ddx(x2)⇒dydx=aex−be−x+2x

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

d2ydx2=aex−be−x+2x

Now, on substituting the values of dydx and d2ydx2 in the differential equation, we get:

L.H.S

xd2ydx2+2dydx−xy+x2−2=x(aex−be−x+2)+2(aex−be−x+2x)−x(aex+be−x+x2)+x2−2=(xaex−bxe−x+2x)+(2aex−2be−x+4x)−(axex+bxe−x+x3)+x2−2=2aex−2be−x+x2+6x−2≠0

Therefore, Function given by equation (i) is a solution of differential equ

We know that slope of tangent to the curve is dydx

∴x+y=dydx+5

dydx−y=x−5 Which has form dydx+Px=Q

where,P=1&Q=x−5

∴I.F=e∫Pdx=e∫−1dx=e−x

Thus the solution has the form

ye−x=∫(x−5)e−xdx+c=∫xe−xdx−∫5e−xdx+c=ye−x=I+5e−x+cwhere,I=∫xe−xdx=x∫e−xdx−∫ddxx∫e−xdxdx=−xe−x+∫e−xdx=−xe−x−e−x

∴ye−x=−xe−x−e−x+5e−x+c=ye−x=−xe−x+4e−x+c=y=−x+4+ce−x=y+x=4+cex

Given, the curve passes through (0,2) so y=2 when x=0
