The differential equation of family of parabola with foci at the origin and axis along the x axes :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
parabola
distance form focus = distance from directrix
x 2 + y 2 = (2a + x) 2
y 2 = 4a(a + x) ..........(i)

2y
= 4a(0 + 1)
a =

using (i) y 2 = 2y

y
+ 2x – y = 0
