Form the differential equation of the family of circles having centers on the x-axis and radius unity.

Equation of the family of circles having centers on the x-axis and radius unity can be represented by

(x - a)2+(y)2= 1, where a is an arbitrary constants.


(1)


Differentiating the above equation with respect to x on both sides, we have,





Substituting the value of a in equation (1)




This is the required differential equation.
