Correct answer: A, C
- Set up the tangent condition
Let be any point on the curve in the first quadrant.
The tangent at has slope , so its equation is
To find where this tangent meets the -axis, put : So the -intercept is Hence the point of intersection with the -axis is
\,y-xy').$$ 2. **Use the given length condition** The length $PY$ is given to be $1$ for every point $P$. Distance between $P(x,y)$ and $(0,y-xy')$ is $$PY=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+\left(y-(y-xy')\right)^2}.$$ This becomes $$PY=\sqrt{x^2+(xy')^2}.$$ Given $PY=1$, we get $$x^2+x^2(y')^2=1.$$ Thus $$x^2(1+(y')^2)=1,$$ so $$1+(y')^2=\frac1{x^2}.$$ Hence $$(y')^2=\frac{1-x^2}{x^2}.$$ Therefore $$xy'=\pm\sqrt{1-x^2}.$$ So the differential equation can be either $$xy'-\sqrt{1-x^2}=0$$ or $$xy'+\sqrt{1-x^2}=0.$$ Now we use the extra condition that the curve lies in the first quadrant and passes through $(1,0)$. 3. **Determine the correct sign** Since the curve is in the first quadrant, we need $y\ge 0$ for relevant $x\in(0,1]$. From $$y'=\pm \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x},$$ we integrate both cases. --- ### Case 1: $$xy'+\sqrt{1-x^2}=0$$ Then $$y'=-\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}.$$ Integrate: $$y=-\int \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\,dx + C.$$ A standard antiderivative is $$\int \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\,dx=\ln\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)+\sqrt{1-x^2}+C.$$ Equivalently, $$-\int \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\,dx=\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)-\sqrt{1-x^2}+C.$$ So $$y=\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)-\sqrt{1-x^2}+C.$$ Using $(1,0)$: $$0=\ln\left(\frac{1+0}{1}\right)-0+C=0+C,$$ so $C=0$. Thus $$y=\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)-\sqrt{1-x^2}.$$ This is exactly **Option C**. Also, for $0<x\le 1$, this gives $y\ge 0$, so it matches the first quadrant condition. Hence **Option A** and **Option C** are correct. --- ### Case 2: $$xy'-\sqrt{1-x^2}=0$$ Then $$y'=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}.$$ Integrating, $$y=-\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)+\sqrt{1-x^2}+C.$$ Using $(1,0)$ again gives $C=0$, so $$y=-\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right)+\sqrt{1-x^2}.$$ This is **Option D**. But for $0<x<1$, this expression is negative (for example near $x=1/2$), so the curve does **not** lie in the first quadrant. Hence this branch is rejected. Therefore **Option B** and **Option D** are not valid for the given curve. 4. **Final conclusion** The correct options are: $$\boxed{A,\ C}$$More from Differential Equations
