Question

The differential equation representing the family of curves y2 = 2c (x + √c), where c > 0, is a parameter, is of order and degree as follows:

Options

A.order 1, degree 2
B.order 1, degree 1
C.order 1, degree 3
D.order 2, degree 2

Solution

y2 = 2c(x + √c)       ....(i)
2yy′ = 2c.1 or yy′ = c       ....(ii)
y2 = 2yy′       [on putting value of c from (ii) in (i)]
On simplifying, we get
(y - 2xy′)2 = 4yy′3       ....(iii)
Hence equation (iii) is of order 1 and degree 3.
