Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter Differential Equations exercise 21.11 question 34
Answer:
Given: The x-intercept of the tangent line to a curve is equal to the ordinate of the point of contact.
To find: The particular curve through the point
Hint: Use equation of tangent i.e. and compare with
Solution: Let be the point in the curve such that the tangent at P cuts the co-ordinate at A and B. We know that the equation of tangent
Putting Y=0 then
Co-ordinate of
Here, x intercept of tangent = y
This is a linear differential equation
Now comparing with
So solution of equation is given by
As it passes through the point
Substituting value of C in equation (i) we get
Hence, required equation of curve is found.
