Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter Differential Equations exercise 21.11 question 16 maths
Answer:
Given: The curve is . Suppose is a part of the curve.
To find: We have to find the equation of the curve for which the intercept cut off by a tangent on x-axis.
Hint: Use equation of tangent i.e. then solve the differential equation.
Solution: Equation of tangent to the curve at is
Where (X, Y) is the arbitrary point on the tangent
Putting Y=0 we get
When cut off by the tangent on the x-axis
Therefore
This is homogeneous differential equation
Putting and in (i)
We get
Integrating on both sides,
Substituting value of we get
Hence, required curve is found.
