31. Find the differential equation of the family of parabolas having vertex at origin and axis along positive y-axis.
31. Find the differential equation of the family of parabolas having vertex at origin and axis along positive y-axis.
The equation of the parabola having the vertex at origin and the axis along the positive y-axis is:

Differentiating equation (1) with respect to x, we get:
Dividing equation (2) by equation (1), we get:
This is the required differential equation.
30. Form the differential equation of the family of circles touching the y-axis at the origin.
30. Form the differential equation of the family of circles touching the y-axis at the origin.
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
