Let f1, f2 and f3 be three curves satisfying the differential equation (1 – y2)dx = 2xy dy and pass through (0, 2). If f3 cuts the curves f1 and f2 at A and B respectively and one of the curve is passing through C(5, –1), then find the area of ΔABC.

Solution

 Given differential equation can be written as
         dxx=2y1y2dy=2yy21dy
⇒       ln x = – ln (y2 – 1) + ln c
⇒       x (y2 – 1) = c
          (0, 2) is on it  ⇒  c = 0
    x (y2 – 1) = 0  ⇒  x = 0, y = ±1
Area  of  ΔABC=12×2×5=5
