Which differential equation represents the family of all conics whose axes are aligned with the coordinate axes?

  1. xy d²y/dx² + x(dy/dx)² + y dy/dx = 0
  2. xy d²y/dx² + x(dy/dx)² + x dy/dx = 0
  3. xy d²y/dx² + x(dy/dx)² − y dy/dx = 0
  4. xy d²y/dx² − x(dy/dx)² + y dy/dx = 0

Correct answer: xy d²y/dx² + x(dy/dx)² − y dy/dx = 0

Solution

The correct option describes a differential equation that captures the geometric properties of conics aligned with the coordinate axes by incorporating terms that relate the second derivative and the first derivative of y with respect to x, ensuring the resulting curves maintain the necessary symmetry.
