The differential equation for all the straight lines which are at a unit distance from the origin is
A
(y−xdxdy)2=1−(dxdy)2
B
(y+xdxdy)2=1+(dxdy)2
C
(y−xdxdy)2=1+(dxdy)2
D
(y+xdxdy)2=1−(dxdy)2
Answer
(y−xdxdy)2=1+(dxdy)2
Explanation
Solution
Since the equation of lines whose distance from origin is unit, is given by xcosα+ysinα=1 .....(i)
Differentiate w.r.t. x, we get cosα+dxdysinα=0 .....(ii)
On eliminating the with the help of (i) and (ii)
i.e., (i) –x × (ii)
⇒ sinα(y−xdxdy)=1 ⇒ (y−xdxdy)=cosecα .....(iii)
Also (ii) ⇒ dxdy=−cotα ⇒ (dxdy)2=cot2α .....(iv)
Therefore by (iii) and (iv), 1+(dxdy)2=(y−xdxdy)2.
