Formation of Differential Equation
Question: Find the differential equation that describes the family of circles passing through the origin.
Solution: The general form of the equation of the circle is
\begin{align*} & (x - h)^2 + ( y - k )^2 = \sqrt{(h^2 + k^2)^2} \\ \implies & x^2 - 2 xh + h^2 + y^2 - 2yk + k^2 = h^2 + k^2\\ \implies & x^2 - 2xh + y^2 - 2ky = 0 \tag{1.1}\label{eq:1.1} \end{align*}
Using differentiation twice we get,
\begin{align*} & 2x - 2h + 2yy' - 2ky' = 0 \\ \implies & x - h + yy' - ky'= 0 \tag{1.2}\label{eq:1.2} \\ and~ & 1 - 0 + yy' + y'y' - ky'' = 0 \\ \implies & 1 + yy' + (y')^2 - ky'' = 0 \tag{1.3}\label{eq:1.3} \end{align*}
From the equation (1.1) we get,
\begin{align*} 2xh & = x^2 + y^2 - 2ky \\ h & = \frac{(x^2 + y^2 - 2ky)}{2x} \tag{1.4}\label{eq:1.4} \end{align*}
From equation (1.2) and (1.4) we get,
\begin{align*} & x - \frac{x^2 + y^2 - 2ky}{2x} + yy' - ky' = 0 \\ \implies & 2x^2 - x^2 - y^2 + 2ky + 2xyy' - 2xky' = 0 \\ \implies & 2k (y - xy') = - x^2 + y^2 - 2xyy' \\ \implies & ~~~~~~~~~~ k = \frac{- x^2 + y^2 - 2xyy'}{2(y - xy')} \\ \implies & ~~~~~~~~~~ k = \frac{x^2 - y^2 + 2xyy'}{2(xy' - y)} \tag{1.5}\label{eq:1.5} \end{align*}
Again from (1.3) and (1.5) we get,
\begin{align*} & 1 + yy'' + (y')^2 - \frac{x^2 - y^2 + 2xyy'}{2(xy' - y)} y'' = 0 \\ \implies & 2[ 1 + (y')^2] (xy' - y) + 2yy'' (xy' - y) - (x^2 - y^2 + 2xyy')y'' = 0 \\ \implies & 2[ 1 + (y')^2] (xy' - y) + 2xyy'y'' - 2y^2 y'' - x^2 y'' + y^2 - 2xyy'y'' = 0 \end{align*}
Which is the required differential equation.
