\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)
Differentiating both sides of the given equation with respect to x, we get:
\(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\frac{dy}{dx}=0\)
\(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}y=0\)
Again, differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:
\(0+\frac{1}{b}y=0\)
\(\frac{1}{b}y=0\)
\(y=0\)
Hence,the required differential equation of the given curve is y=0.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
A relation between involved variables, which satisfy the given differential equation is called its solution. The solution which contains as many arbitrary constants as the order of the differential equation is called the general solution and the solution free from arbitrary constants is called particular solution.
