Elimination of

Arbitrary
Constants
EXAMPLE 1.

Eliminate the arbitrary constants.



�� + �� + � = �
Step 1. Differentiate the given equation based on the
number of arbitrary constants.


�� + �� + � = �

              ��� + � = �

                         �� = �
��
������  →  � = �
���:


1.     �� − � = ��

2.     � =  ���� �� + �
 �.

�� − � = ��
                     ���� + �� �� = ���

→ � = ��� −

������  →  �� �� + ��� + � �� = �
2.
�   =  ���� �� + �
��
= ����� �� + �
��
�� � � ���� �� + �
=− �
���
→ � ���  ��  +  � =  �
�� � ��
=− �
���
�� �
������  →   + �� � = �
