The particular solution of the differential equation $\left(1+y^2\right) d x-x y d y=0, y(1)=0$ represents

The particular solution of the differential equation $\left(1+y^2\right) d x-x y d y=0, y(1)=0$ represents
  1. a circle
  2. a part of parabola
  3. a part of ellipse
  4. a part of hyperbola

Solution

$\left(1+y^2\right) \mathrm{dx}-x y d y=0$ $\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{x}-\frac{y}{1+y^2} d y=0$ Integrating both sides: $\begin{aligned} & \ln x-\frac{1}{2} \ln \left(1+y^2\right)=\ln c \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+y^2}}=c \Rightarrow x=\sqrt[c]{1+y^2}...(i) \\ & \because y(1)=0 \\ & \therefore 1=\sqrt[c]{1+0} \Rightarrow c=1 \end{aligned}$ From equation (i), $x=\sqrt{1+y^2} \Rightarrow x^2=1+y^2$ $\Rightarrow x^2-y^2=1$ which represents a hyperbola.
