The differential equation describes the shape of a plane curve C that will reflect all
Chapter 3, Problem 18(choose chapter or problem)
The differential equation describes the shape of a plane curve C that will reflect all incoming light beams to the same point and could be a model for the mirror of a reflecting telescope, a satellite antenna, or a solar collector. See in Exercises 1.3. There are several ways of solving this DE. (a) Verify that the differential equation is homogeneous (see Section 2.5). Show that the substitution y ux yields . u du 11 u2 (1 11 u2 ) dx x d
