Example: 1. Form a partial differential equation (pde) by eliminating arbitrary constants from

Hints/Solution: Let (x−a)2 + (y − b)2 +z2 −1 = 0 − − − − − − − − > (1)
Differentiating (1) partially w.r.t. xandy, we get
2(x−a) + 2z∂z ∂x = 0
=⇒ x−a = −pz− − − − − −− > (2)
and
2(y−b) + 2z∂z ∂y = 0

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1), we get the required pde as(p2+q2+ 1)z2 = 1
