From the family of curves defined by (x² - y²) dx + 2xy dy = 0, identify the particular curve passing through the point (1, 1).

  1. A circle whose centre lies on the y-axis
  2. A circle whose centre lies on the x-axis
  3. An ellipse with its major axis along the y-axis
  4. A hyperbola with its transverse axis along the x-axis

Correct answer: A circle whose centre lies on the x-axis

Solution

The homogeneous ODE integrates to x² + y² = Cx; through (1,1) this is x² + y² = 2x, a circle centred on the x-axis.
