CORE CONTENT
There will not be two lines if 𝑎! and 𝑏! are zero or if 𝑎" and 𝑏" are zero, but equation (1) will
then be linear in one of its variables.
If the lines intersect, let the point of intersection be (ℎ, 𝑘). Then the translation
𝑥 = 𝑢 + ℎ, 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑢
𝑦 = 𝑣 + 𝑘, 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑑𝑣
will transform the DE into
(𝑎! 𝑢 + 𝑏! 𝑣)𝑑𝑢 + (𝑎" 𝑢 + 𝑏" 𝑣)dv = 0

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. NUMBER THE PAGES OF YOUR WRITTEN WORK (USE YOUR D.E. NOTEBOOK).
2. PUT YOUR SURNAME, INITIALS, STUDENT NUMBER AND SIGNATURE ON EACH
PAGE
3. WRITE YOUR SOLUTIONS IN THE SAME ORDER THAT THEY APPEAR ON THE
QUESTION DOCUMENT (PROBSET FILE).
4. COMPILE AND UPLOAD, IN ONE PDF FILE ONLY, YOUR WRITTEN SOLUTIONS AS
EVIDENCE. ANY OTHER FILES (E.G. JPEG FILES) WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
NOTE: Since you will be using your notebook, take a photo of your solutions using a mobile APP (CamScanner,
Notebloc, etc.) or PC app. that converts photo to pdf format.
