Question:
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$
Solution:
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$
Differentiating both sides of the given equation with respect to x, we get:
$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b} \frac{d y}{d x}=0$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b} y^{\prime}=0$
Again, differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get:
$0+\frac{1}{b} y^{\prime \prime}=0$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{b} y^{\prime \prime}=0$
$\Rightarrow y^{\prime \prime}=0$
Hence, the required differential equation of the given curve is $y^{\prime \prime}=0$.
