Ex 9.3, 17 Find the equation of a curve passing through the point (0 , ā2) , given that at any point (š„ , š¦) on the curve , the product of the slope of its tangent and š¦ coordinate of the point is equal to the š„ coordinate of the point .Slope of tangent to the curve = š š/š š Given at any point (x, y), product of slope of its tangent and y-coordinate is equal to x-coordinate of the point Therefore, y š š/š š = x y dy = x dx Integrating both sides ā«1ā暦 šš¦=ā«1āćš„ šš„ ć ć š^š/š = š^š/š + C The curve passes through point (0, ā2) Putting x = 0 & y = ā2 in equation (ā2)^2/2 = 0^2/2 + C 4/2 = C C = 2 Putting back value of C in equation š^š/š = š^š/š + 2 š¦^2/2 = (š„^2 + 4)/2 š¦^2 = š„^2 + 4 š^š ā š^š= 4 Hence, equation of the curve is š^š ā š^š= 4
