Question

Write the differential equation for each of the curves determined by the given conditions.

1. Find the differential equation of all straight lines at a unit distance from the origin. answer (xy'-y)^2 = 1 + (y')^2

2. Find the differential equation of all circles in the plane.  Hint: Use x^2+y^2-2Ax-2By+C=0      answer [1+(y')^2]y'''-3y'(y'')^2=0

3. Find the differential equation of the family of circles of variable radii r with centers on the x-axis. Hint: Use (x-A)^2 + y^2 = r^2,   A and r are arbitrary constants.

Answer ( yy'' + (y')^2 +1= 0
