Question 191 Mark
Write the order of the differential equation of the family of circles touching X-axis at the origin.
Answer

The equation of the famliy of circles touching x-axis at the origin is
$(\text{x}-0)^{2}+(\text{y}-\text{a})^{2}=\text{a}^{2}$
$\text{x}^{2}+\text{y}^{2}-2\text{ay}=0\ ...(\text{i})$

Since, this equation contain only one conatant, we differentiate it only once.
$2\text{x}+2\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-2\text{a}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
$\text{a}=\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}})}{\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}}\ ...(\text{ii})$

Question 481 Mark
Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations. state also whether they are linear or non linear.
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^{\frac{2}{3}}$
Answer
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^{\frac{2}{3}}$
Taking cubes of both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}\Big)^3=\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)^2$

In this differential equation, the order of the highest order derivative is 2 and its power is 3. So, it is a differential equation of order 2 and degree 3. It is a non-linear differential equation, as it has degree 3, which is greater than 1.

Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations. state also whether they are linear or non linear.
$(\text{xy}^2+\text{x})\text{dx}+(\text{y}-\text{x}^2\text{y})\text{dy}=0$
Answer
$(\text{xy}^2+\text{x})\text{dx}+(\text{y}-\text{x}^2\text{y})\text{dy}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}(\text{y}^2+1)\text{dx}=\text{y}(\text{x}^2-1)\text{dy}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}(\text{y}^2+1)}{\text{y}(\text{x}^2-1)}=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}(\text{y}^2+1)\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{y}(\text{x}^2-1)=0$
$\Rightarrow(\text{y}^2+1)\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{y}(\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x})}=0$
In this differential equation, the order of the highest order derivative is 1 and its power is 1. So, it is a differential equation of degree 1 and order 1.

It is a non-linear equation, as the product containing dependent variable and its differential co-efficient $\Big(\text{y}^2\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)$ is present in it.

Given, the equation of famliy of circle,
$(\text{x}-\text{a}^{2})+(\text{y}-\text{b})^{2}=\text{r}^{2}\ ...(\text{i})$
Since, given equation have two arbiteary constant, so we differential the above equation two times wrt.x.
Differential equation (i) wrt.x. we get
$2(\text{x}-\text{a})+2(\text{y}-\text{b})\frac{\text{}dy}{\text{dx}}=\text{r}^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow (\text{x}-\text{a})+(\text{y}-\text{b})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0\ ...(\text{ii})$
