Formula used:

\(\rm \frac{d}{dx} x^{n} = nx^{n - 1}\)

Calculation:

We have \(\rm y = A -\frac{B}{x}\)

On differentiating the above equation with respect to x, we get 

 \(\rm y_{1} = \frac{B}{x^{2}}\)

⇒ x2 \(\rm y_{1} = B\)

again differentiate with respect to x

⇒ \(\rm x^{2} y_{2} + 2x y_{1} = 0\)

⇒ x\(\rm (x y_{2}+ 2 y_{1}) = 0\)

⇒ \(\rm (x y_{2}+ 2 y_{1}) = 0\)

∴ The differential equation of \(\rm y = A -\frac{B}{x}\) is \(\rm (x y_{2}+ 2 y_{1}) = 0\).
