JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2003 - No. 23)

The degree and order of the differential equation of the family of all parabolas whose axis is $$x$$-axis, are respectively.
$$2, 3$$
$$2,1$$
$$1,2$$
$$3,2.$$

Explanation

General equation of parabola whose axis is along X-axis

$${y^2} = 4a\left( {x - h} \right)$$

Differentiating with respect to x, we get

$$2y{y_1} = 4a$$

$$ \Rightarrow y{y_1} = 2a$$

Again differentiating with respect to x, we get

$$ \Rightarrow {y_1}^2 + y{y_2} = 0$$

Degree $$=1,$$ order $$=2.$$
