Question Details

Family y = Ax + A³ of curves will correspond to a differential equation of order

Options

A

3

B

2

C

1

D

not finite

Correct Answer :

2

Solution :

The correct option is 2.

We are given the equation for the family of curves:
y = A x + A 3
where A is an arbitrary constant parameter.

To find the corresponding differential equation, we first differentiate the equation with respect to x:
d y d x = A

To eliminate the parameter A, we differentiate a second time with respect to x:
d 2 y d x 2 = 0

Since the resulting differential equation involves the second derivative, it represents a differential equation of order 2.
