  • $\left(1,\frac{1}{2}\right)$ and axis parallel to x-axis
  • $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$ and focus at $\left(\frac{3}{2}, 1\right)$
  • $\left(1,\frac{1}{2}\right)$ and focus at $\left(\frac{3}{2}, 1\right)$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The given equation can be rewritten as
$\left(y-1\right)^{2}=4\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ which is a parabola
with its $vertex\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$ axis along the line
$y = 1$, hence axis parallel to x-axis.
Its focus is $\left(\frac{1}{2}+1, 1\right)$, i.e., $\left(\frac{3}{2}, 1\right)$

Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point. It is mainly used in fields such as physics, engineering, biology and so on.

Orders of a Differential Equation

First Order Differential Equation

The first-order differential equation has a degree equal to 1. All the linear equations in the form of derivatives are in the first order. It has only the first derivative such as dy/dx, where x and y are the two variables and is represented as: dy/dx = f(x, y) = y’

Second-Order Differential Equation

The equation which includes second-order derivative is the second-order differential equation. It is represented as; d/dx(dy/dx) = d2y/dx2 = f”(x) = y”.

Types of Differential Equations

Differential equations can be divided into several types namely

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear Differential Equations
  • Nonlinear differential equations
  • Homogeneous Differential Equations
  • Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations
