Analyzing the Differential Equation
The given differential equation is:
To solve this, we first isolate the derivative term dxdy. Rearranging the terms, we obtain:
Separation and Integration
We now separate the variables to prepare for integration:
Integrating both sides of the equation, we get:
This yields the general algebraic solution:
Determining the Specific Curve
We are given that the curve passes through the point (0,1). Substituting x=0 and y=1 into our general equation:
Solving this gives C=−4. Thus, the specific equation of the curve is:
Geometric Transformation
To identify the geometry of this curve, we complete the square for the y terms. Adding 425 to both sides:
This simplifies to:
Factoring out −3 on the right side, we arrive at the standard form of a parabola:
Final Verification
The equation represents a parabola opening to the left with its vertex at (43,25).
To verify if this vertex lies on the line 2x+3y=9, we substitute the coordinates:
2(43)+3(25)=23+215=218=9
The vertex satisfies the equation, confirming the geometric properties of the derived curve.
