    DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

    FAMILY OF CURVES
    MPS Department  FEU Institute of Technology
    OBJECTIVES
    The students are expected to:
    1. recall the different formulas and equations of the
    different curves used in Analytic Geometry; and
    2. apply the appropriate method / techniques
    of eliminating the arbitrary constants.
    FAMILY OF CURVES

    An equation involving a parameter


    as well as one of the coordinates in
    a plane may represent a family of
    curves.
    PARAMETER
    - a constant, usually denoted by a letter,
    but unlike arbitrary constants, it is not to
    be eliminated.
    EXAMPLES
    1. Find the DE of the family of straight line through the
    origin and sketch the representative members of the
    family of SL.
    EXAMPLES
    2. Find the DE of the given family of straight line through
    (5, -3).
    EXAMPLES
    3. Find the DE of the family of straight line with the slope
    and y-intercept equal.
    EXAMPLES
    4. Find the DE of the family of circle with center at (5, -2).
    EXAMPLES
    5. Obtain the DE of the family of circle with center on the
    x-axis.
    EXAMPLES
    6. Obtain the DE of the family of cardioids 𝑟 = 𝑎(1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃)
    where a is the arbitrary constant.
    EXAMPLES
    7. Find the DE of the family of parabolas having their
    vertices at the origin and their foci on the y-axis.
    EXAMPLES
    8. Obtain the DE of the family of parabolas with vertex on
    the x-axis, parallel to the y-axis, and with distance from the
    focus to vertex fixed as a.
    EXAMPLES
    9. Find the DE of the family of parabolas with axis parallel
    to the x-axis.
    EXAMPLES
    10. Find the DE of the family of SL with algebraic sum of
    intercepts fixed as k.
