 Solution:
 The given D.E. is \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+5 \frac{d y}{d x}+y=x^{3}\)
 This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) with power 1.
 ∴ the given D.E. is of order 2 and degree 1.
(ii) \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2}=\sqrt[5]{1+\frac{d y}{d x}}\)
 Solution:
 The given D.E. is \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2}=\sqrt[5]{1+\frac{d y}{d x}}\)
 \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2 \times 5}=1+\frac{d y}{d x}\)
 \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{10}=1+\frac{d y}{d x}\)
 This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\) with power 10.
 ∴ the given D.E. is of order 3 and degree 10.
(iii) \(\sqrt[3]{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
 Solution:
 The given D.E. is \(\sqrt[3]{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
 On cubing both sides, we get
 \(1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}\)
 This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) with power 3.
 ∴ the given D.E. is of order 2 and degree 3.

 Solution:
 The given D.E. is
 
 This D.E. has the highest order derivative \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) with power 4.

 Solution:
 The given D.E. is \(\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=0\)
 This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}\).
 ∴ order = 4
 Since this D.E. cannot be expressed as a polynomial in differential coefficient, the degree is not defined.
Question 2.

 (i) \(x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2} ; x \frac{d y}{d x}+r \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=y\)
 Solution:
 x2 + y2 = r2 ……. (1)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

 \(x \frac{d y}{d x}+r \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=y\)
(ii) y = eax sin bx; \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}-2 a \frac{d y}{d x}+\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right) y=0\)

(iv) xy = aex + be-x + x2; \(x \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+2 \frac{d y}{d x}+x^{2}=x y+2\)
 Solution:
 
(v) x2 = 2y2 log y, x2 + y2 = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)
 Solution:
 x2 = 2y2 log y ……(1)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. y, we get
 
 ∴ x2 + y2 = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)
 Hence, x2 = 2y2 log y is a solution of the D.E.
 x2 + y2 = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)
Question 3.
 Obtain the differential equation by eliminating the arbitrary constants from the following equations:
 (i) y2 = a(b – x)(b + x)
 Solution:
 y2 = a(b – x)(b + x) = a(b2 – x2)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = a(0 – 2x) = -2ax
 ∴ y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = -ax …….(1)
 Differentiating again w.r.t. x, we get
 
 This is the required D.E.
(ii) y = a sin(x + b)
 Solution:
 y = a sin(x + b)
 
 This is the required D.E.
(iii) (y – a)2 = b(x + 4)
 Solution:
 (y – a)2 = b(x + 4) …….(1)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
 \(2(y-a) \cdot \frac{d}{d x}(y-a)=b \frac{d}{d x}(x+4)\)
 
![]()
(iv) y = \(\sqrt{a \cos (\log x)+b \sin (\log x)}\)
 Solution:
 y = \(\sqrt{a \cos (\log x)+b \sin (\log x)}\)
 ∴ y2 = a cos (log x) + b sin (log x) …….(1)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
 
 
(v) y = Ae3x+1 + Be-3x+1
 Solution:
 y = Ae3x+1 + Be-3x+1 …… (1)
 Differentiating twice w.r.t. x, we get
 
 This is the required D.E.
Question 4.
 Form the differential equation of:
 (i) all circles which pass through the origin and whose centres lie on X-axis.
 Solution:
 
 Let C (h, 0) be the centre of the circle which pass through the origin. Then radius of the circle is h.
 ∴ equation of the circle is (x – h)2 + (y – 0)2 = h2
 ∴ x2 – 2hx + h2 + y2 = h2
 ∴ x2 + y2 = 2hx ……..(1)
 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
 2x + 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2h
 Substituting the value of 2h in equation (1), we get
 x2 + y2 = (2x + 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)) x
 ∴ x2 + y2 = 2x2 + 2xy \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
 ∴ 2xy \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + x2 – y2 = 0
 This is the required D.E.
(ii) all parabolas which have 4b as latus rectum and whose axis is parallel to Y-axis.
 Solution:
 Let A(h, k) be the vertex of the parabola which has 4b as latus rectum and whose axis is parallel to the Y-axis.
 Then equation of the parabola is
 (x – h)2 = 4b(y – k) ……. (1)
 where h and k are arbitrary constants.
 
 Differentiating both sides of (1) w.r.t. x, we get
 2(x – h). \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x – h) = 4b . \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(y – k)
 ∴ 2(x – h) x (1 – 0) = 4b(\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 0)
 ∴ (x – h) = 2b \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
 Differentiating again w.r.t. x, we get
 1 – 0 = 2b \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
 ∴ 2b \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) – 1 = 0
 This is the required D.E.

(iii) an ellipse whose major axis is twice its minor axis.
 Solution:
 Let 2a and 2b be lengths of the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse.
 Then 2a = 2(2b)
 ∴ a = 2b
 ∴ equation of the ellipse is
 \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
 ∴ \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2 b)^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
 ∴ \(\frac{x^{2}}{4 b^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
 ∴ x2 + 4y2 = 4b2
 Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
 2x + 4 × 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
 ∴ x + 4y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
 This is the required D.E.
(iv) all the lines which are normal to the line 3x + 2y + 7 = 0.
 Solution:
 Slope of the line 3x – 2y + 7 = 0 is \(\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}\).
 ∴ slope of normal to this line is \(-\frac{2}{3}\)
 Then the equation of the normal is
 y = \(-\frac{2}{3}\)x + k, where k is an arbitrary constant.
 Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
 \(\frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{2}{3} \times 1+0\)
 ∴ 3\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + 2 = 0
 This is the required D.E.
(v) the hyperbola whose length of transverse and conjugate axes are half of that of the given hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=k\).
 Solution:
 The equation of the hyperbola is \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=k\)
 i.e., \(\frac{x^{2}}{16 k}-\frac{y^{2}}{36 k}=1\)
 Comparing this equation with \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\), we get
 a2 = 16k, b2 = 36k
 ∴ a = 4√k, b = 6√k
 ∴ l(transverse axis) = 2a = 8√k
 and l(conjugate axis) = 2b = 12√k
 Let 2A and 2B be the lengths of the transverse and conjugate axes of the required hyperbola.
 Then according to the given condition
 2A = a = 4√k and 2B = b = 6√k
 ∴ A = 2√k and B = 3√k
 ∴ equation of the required hyperbola is
 \(\frac{x^{2}}{A^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{B^{2}}=1\)
 i.e., \(\frac{x^{2}}{4 k}-\frac{y^{2}}{9 k}=1\)
 ∴ 9x2 – 4y2 = 36k, where k is an arbitrary constant.
 Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
 9 × 2x – 4 × 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
 ∴ 9x – 4y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
 This is the required D.E.

(v) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y cot x = x2 cot x + 2x
 Solution:
 \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y cot x = x cot x + 2x ……..(1)
 This is the linear differential equation of the form
 \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + Py = Q, where P = cot x and Q = x2 cot x + 2x
 ∴ I.F. = \(e^{\int P d x}\)
 = \(e^{\int \cot x d x}\)
 = \(e^{\log (\sin x)}\)
 = sin x
 ∴ the solution of (1) is given by
 y(I.F.) = ∫Q . (I.F.) dx + c
 ∴ y sin x = ∫(x2 cot x + 2x) sin x dx + c
 ∴ y sinx = ∫(x2 cot x . sin x + 2x sin x) dx + c
 ∴ y sinx = ∫x2 cos x dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
 ∴ y sinx = x2 ∫cos x dx – ∫[\(\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{2}\right)\) ∫cos x dx] dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
 ∴ y sin x = x2 (sin x) – ∫2x(sin x) dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
 ∴ y sin x = x2 sin x – 2∫x sin x dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
 ∴ y sin x = x2 sin x + c
 ∴ y = x2 + c cosec x
 This is the general solution.

 Solution:
 Let P(x, y) be a point on the curve y = f(x).
 Then slope of the normal to the curve is \(-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}\)
 ∴ equation of the normal is
 
 This is the general equation of the curve.
 Since, the required curve passed through the point (2, 3), we get
 22 + 32 = 4(2) + c
 ∴ c = 5
 ∴ equation of the required curve is x2 + y2 = 4x + 5.

 Solution:
 Let r be the radius and V be the volume of the spherical balloon at any time t.
 Then the rate of change in volume of the spherical balloon is \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) which is a constant.
 
 
 Hence, the radius of the spherical balloon after t seconds is \((63 t+27)^{\frac{1}{3}}\) units.

Question 10.
 A person’s assets start reducing in such a way that the rate of reduction of assets is proportional to the square root of the assets existing at that moment. If the assets at the beginning are ₹ 10 lakhs and they dwindle down to ₹ 10,000 after 2 years, show that the person will be bankrupt in 2\(\frac{2}{9}\) years from the start.
 Solution:
 Let x be the assets of the presort at time t years.
 Then the rate of reduction is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) which is proportional to √x.
 ∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) ∝ √x
 ∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -k√x, where k > 0
 ∴ \(\frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}}\) = -k dt
 Integrating both sides, we get
 \(\int x^{-\frac{1}{2}} d x\) = -k∫dt
 ∴ \(\frac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}\) = -kt + c
 ∴ 2√x = -kt + c
 At the beginning, i.e. at t = 0, x = 10,00,000
 2√10,00,000 = -k(0) + c
 ∴ c = 2000
 ∴ 2√x = -kt + 2000 ……..(1)
 Also, when t = 2, x = 10,000
 ∴ 2√10000 = -k × 2 + 2000
 ∴ 2k = 1800
 ∴ k = 900
 ∴ (1) becomes,
 ∴ 2√x = -900t + 2000
 When the person will be bankrupt, x = 0
 ∴ 0 = -900t + 2000
 ∴ 900t = 2000
 ∴ t = \(\frac{20}{9}=2 \frac{2}{9}\)
 Hence, the person will be bankrupt in \(2 \frac{2}{9}\) years.
