The curve satisfying the differential equation, $\left(x^2-y^2\right) d x+2 x y d y=0$ and passing through the point $(1,1)$ is
  1. a circle of radius two
  2. a circle of radius one
  3. a hyperbola
  4. an ellipse

Solution

$\left(x^2-y^2\right) d x+2 x y d y=0$ $ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y^2-x^2}{2 x y} $ Let $y=v x$ $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x} \\ \Rightarrow & v+x \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{v^2 x^2-x^2}{2 v x^2} \\ \Rightarrow & v+x \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{v^2-1}{2 v} \\ \Rightarrow & x \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{-v^2-1}{2 v} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{2 v d v}{v^2+1}=-\frac{d x}{x} \end{aligned} $ After integrating, we get $ \begin{aligned} &\ln \left|v^2+1\right|=-\ln |x|+\ln c \\ &\frac{y^2}{x^2}+1=\frac{c}{x} \end{aligned} $ As curve passes through the point $(1,1)$, so $1+1=c \Rightarrow c=2$ $x^2+y^2-2 x=0$, which is a circle of radius one
