The focal length of a mirror is given by . In finding the values of u and v, the errors are equal to ' 'p'. Then, the relative error in f is
The differential equation of the family of parabolas with vertex at (0, - 1) and having axis along the Y-axis is
yy' + 2xy + 1 = 0
xy' + y + 1 = 0
xy' - 2y - 2
xy' - y - 1 = 0
C.
xy' - 2y - 2
Equation of family of parabola having vertex (0, - 1) and axis along y-axis is
x2 = 4a(y + 1) ... (i)
On differentiating both sides w r t. x, we get
2x = 4ay'
On putting a = in eq (i), we get
