• Family of curves ( Axes and origin)
• Formation of ordinary differential equation
Example:1
Find the differential equation of the family of all straight lines passing through
the origin.
Example:2
Form the differential equation that represents all parabolas each of which has a
latus rectum 4a and whose axes are parallel to the x axis.
Example:3
 Find the differential equation of all circles passing through the origin and having
their centers on the y axis.
Practice question:
Find the differential equation of the family of
parabola with foci at the origin and axis along the
x-axis.
