Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The solution of the differential equation represents a circle when
By Variable separable,
⇒ (by + f) dy = (ax + g) dx
Integrating both sides
⇒ ∫ (by + f) dy = ∫ (ax + g) dx
⇒ by2 + 2fy = ax2 + 2gx + C’
Where C’ = 2C
We know general solution of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Where (h, k) is center of the circle and r is radius.
By completing square method
Now to form above equation as equation of circle we need
i.e. a = -b
= (B)
