(b) False

This question was addressed to me in quiz.

Enquiry is from Formation of Ordinary Differential Equations by Elimination of Arbitrary Constants in section Ordinary Differential Equations – First Order & First Degree of Engineering Mathematics

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

To explain: Given: y = x^2+c, where c is known as an arbitrary constant. It is also referred to as the parameter to differentiate it from the main variables x and y.
