Math Problem Statement

Find a differential equation whose solution Where A, B, C arbitrary constants and A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 > C x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 2Ax - 2By + C = 0

Solution

To find a differential equation whose solution satisfies the given relation, let's first analyze the given equation. We are given:

x2+y22Ax2By+C=0x^2 + y^2 - 2Ax - 2By + C = 0

Let's rewrite this to understand the structure of the equation.

  1. Complete the square for both xx and yy terms:

    x22Ax+y22By+C=0x^2 - 2Ax + y^2 - 2By + C = 0

    Completing the square for xx and yy:

    (xA)2+(yB)2=A2+B2C(x - A)^2 + (y - B)^2 = A^2 + B^2 - C

    This equation represents a circle with center (A,B)(A, B) and radius A2+B2C\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 - C}.

  2. Determine the Differential Equation:

    To find a differential equation corresponding to this solution, differentiate both sides of the equation implicitly with respect to xx.

    Since (xA)2+(yB)2=A2+B2C(x - A)^2 + (y - B)^2 = A^2 + B^2 - C, we differentiate each side with respect to xx:

    2(xA)+2(yB)dydx=02(x - A) + 2(y - B) \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

    Simplify by dividing by 2:

    (xA)+(yB)dydx=0(x - A) + (y - B) \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

  3. Rewrite the Resulting Differential Equation:

    Rearranging terms, we obtain:

    dydx=xAyB\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x - A}{y - B}

This is the required differential equation. The solution to this differential equation will be a family of circles centered at (A,B)(A, B) with radius A2+B2C\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 - C}, under the condition that A2+B2>CA^2 + B^2 > C.

Summary

The differential equation is:

dydx=xAyB\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x - A}{y - B}
