A certain ellipse is centered at (0, 0) from which the major axis always equal to 16 and the minor axis is free to change as long as it obeys a>b for ellipses. The directrices of this ellipse is perpendicular to the x - axis. Determine the differential equation which will satisfy the abovementioned set up.

Step 1
To determine: The differential equation which will satisfy the above mentioned set up.
Step 2
Explanation:
It is known that "The ellipse with equation x2a2+y2b2=1(a>b) has center at (0, 0), major axis 2a, minor axis 2b, and directrices perpendicular to the x-axis."
As length of major axis of the given ellipse is 16.
Therefore 2a=16a=8,
Let the length of minor axis is =2b with (0<b<8)
Therefore equation of required ellipse is given by
x282+y2b2=1(8>b)
x264+y2b2=1 (i)
Step 3
Now differentiating the equation (i) with respect to x,
ddx(x264+y2b2)=ddx(1)
ddx(x264)+ddx(y2b2)=0 (differentiation of constant is zero)
(2x64)+ddx(y2b2)=0 (since ddx(xn)=nxn1)
x32+ddy(y2b2)dydx=0 (by chain rule)
x32+(2yb2)dydx=0
dydx=x×b232×2y
dydx=xb264y (ii)
From equation (i), we have

Step 1
Given that center of ellipse is (0, 0) major axis is 16, semi-minor axis is b , a=8,a>b directrices are perpendicular to the x-axis.
so equation of ellipse will x282+y2b2=1
we have to find differential equation which will satisfy above mentioned set up.
Step 2
now x282+y2b2=1
differentiating with respect to x
x32+2yyb2=0
b2=64yyx
x282+xy64y=1
xyy=64x2
y=xy64x2

f dx1gdy=0
Where f=(1xy)(2) and 9=(y2+x2(1xy)(2))
Satisfy dfdy=dgdx
Suppose the solution is F(x,y)=c
Then, calculating the differential of both sides
dFdxdx+dFdydy=0
So we see f=dFdx
g=dFdy
We can integrate these equations partially to find f. let's go for the y integral
dFdy=y2+x2/(1xy)2
F=y3/3x2/(1xy)(1/x)+1x(x)
y3/3+x/(1xy)+x(x)
where x(x) is an arbitrary function dx only.
Now substitute that into the equation
for dF/dx to determine x(x)
dFdx=1/(1xy)2+dx/dx
Comparing what with the coefficient of dx we get that dx/dx=0 so x(x) is just a constant which we can take to be 0.
So the solution is F=c or
y3/3+x/(1xy)=c
y3+3x/(1xy)=3c
(1xy)y3+3x=3c(1xy)
y3xy4+3x3c×4=3c
xy4y3+3cxy3x=3c
