Short Answer

Verify that x2+cy2=1, where c is an arbitrary non-zero constant, is a one-parameter family of implicit solutions to dydx=xyx2-1 and graph several of the solution curves using the same coordinate axes.

On differentiating the given function x2+cy2=1 with respect to x, we will find that the result is identical to the given differential equation. Hence, x2+cy2=1 is a one-parameter family of implicit solutions to dydx=xyx2-1 for c as an arbitrary non-zero constant.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Important formula.

The required formula is ddx(xn)=nxn-1.

Step 2: Taking the given function as a function of x in y.

y=1-x2c

Step 3: Differentiate the function in step 2, with respect to x.

dydx=12c1-x2-12×-2xdydx=-xc×11-x2

Step 4: Simplification of the differential equation obtained in step 2.

Multiplying and dividing the final differential equation obtained in Step 2 by 1-x2:

role="math" localid="1663943533560" dydx=-xc×11-x21-x21-x2dydx=-x1-x21-x2cdydx=-xy1-x2dydx=xyx2-1

Which is identical to the given differential equation.

Hence, x2+cy2=1 is a one-parameter family of implicit solutions to dydx=xyx2-1, for c as an arbitrary non-zero constant.

Step 5: To represent the solution curves on a graph.

When c=1

y=1-x2 (Represented with red colour)

When c=-1

y=-1-x2 (Represented with a red-coloured dotted line)

When c=2

y=1-x22 (Represented with blue colour)

When c=-2

y=1-x2-2 (Represented with a blue-coloured dotted line)

When c=3

role="math" localid="1663944317705" y=1-x23 (Represented with orange colour)

When c=-3

y=1-x2-3 (Represented with orange-coloured dotted line)

Graph representing the solution curves corresponding to c=±1,±2,±3.
