The equation of the parabola having the vertex at origin and the axis along the positive y-axis is:

x2 =4ay

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

2x=4ay'

Dividing equation (2) by equation (1), we get:

2xx2=4ay'4ay⇒2x=y'y⇒xy'=2y⇒xy'−2y=0

This is the required differential equation.

The centre of the circle touching the y-axis at origin lies on the x-axis.

Let (a, 0) be the centre of the circle.

Since it touches the y-axis at origin, its radius is a.

Now, the equation of the circle with centre (a, 0) and radius (a) is

(x−a)2+y2=a2.⇒x2+y2=2ax.......... (1)

Differentiating equation (1) with res

Given: Equation of the family of curves y=ex(acosx+bsinx)..........(i)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

y'=ex(acosx+bsinx)+ex(−acosx+bsinx)⇒y'=ex[(a+b)cosx−(a−b)sinx]..........(2)

Again, differentiating with respect to x, we get:

y"=ex[(a+b)cosx−(a−b)sinx]+ex[−(a+b)sinx−(a−b)cosx]y"=ex[2bcosx−2asinx]y"=2ex(bcosx−asinx)⇒y"2=ex(bcosx−asinx)..........(3)

Adding equations (1) and (3), we get:

y+y"2=ex[(a+b)cosx−(a−b)sinx]⇒y+y"2=y'⇒2y+y"=2y'⇒y"−2y'+2y=0

This is the required differential equation of the given curve.

Given: Equation of the family of curves  y=e2x(a+bx)..........(1)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

y'=2e2x(a+bx)+e2x.b⇒y'=e2x(2a+2bx+b)..........(2)

Multiplying equation (1) with (2) and then subtracting it from equation (2), we get:

y'−2y=e2x(2a+2bx+b)−e2x(2a+2bx)⇒y'−2y=be2x..........(3)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

y"−2y'=2be2x..........(4)

Dividing equation (4) by equation (3), we get:

y"−2y'y'−2y=2⇒y"−2y'=2y'−4y⇒y"−4y'+4y=0

This is

Given: Equation of the family of curves  y=ae3x+be−2x..........(i)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

y'=3ae3x−2be−2x..........(ii)

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

y"=9ae3x−4be−2x..........(iii)

Multiplying equation (i) with (ii) and then adding it to equation (ii), we get:

(2ae3x+2be−2x)+(3ae3x−2be−2x)=2y+y'⇒5ae3x=2y+y'⇒ae3x=2y+y'5

Now, multiplying equation (i) with (iii) and subtrac

Given: Equation of the family of curves  y2=a(b2−x2)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:

2ydydx=a(−2x)⇒2yy'=−2ax⇒yy'=−ax..........(1)

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

y'.y'+yy"=−a⇒(y')2+yy"=−a..........(2)

Dividing equation (2) by equation (1), we get:

(y')2+yy"yy'=−a−ax⇒xyy"+x(y')2−yy"=0

This is the required differential equation of the given curve.

Given: Equation of the family of curves  xa+yb=1.......... (i)

Differentiating both sides of the given equation with respect to x, we get:

1a+1bdydx=0⇒1a+1by'=0

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

0+1by"=0⇒1by"=0⇒y"=0

Hence, the required differential equation of the given curve is y"=0
