Answer

\[3y^2+x^2=K\]

Work Step by Step

$y=cx^3$ ____(1) Differentiate (1) with respect to $x$ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=3cx^2\] From (1) $\large{\frac{dy}{dx}=3\left(\frac{y}{x^3}\right)x^2=\frac{3y}{x}}$___(2) Replace $\Large\frac{dy}{dx}$ by $\Large-\frac{dx}{dy}$ in (2) [ For orthogonal Trajectories] \[-\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{3y}{x}\] Separating variables \[-x dx=3y dy\] Integrating, $$C_{1}-\int x dx=3\int y dy$$ $C_{1}$ is constant of jntegration \[C_{1}-\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac{3y^2}{2}\] $3y^2+x^2=K$, where $K=2C_{1}$ Hence orthogonal trajectories of (1) is $3y^2+x^2=K$
