Calculate the region area of the $xy$-plane limited by curves $C_1$ and $C_2$ with $|x|leq4$, knowing that $C_1$ passes through $(1, 1)$, $C_2$ passes through $(1, -1)$ and both curves belong to the orthogonal family a $x^2+2y^2=K$, with $K$ arbitrary constant.
I did this:
$$beginmatrix
mathfrak F:&2x+4yy'=0&(1)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&2x-4dfrac yy'=0&(2)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&x=2dfrac yy'&(3)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&dfracy'y=dfrac2x&(4)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&displaystyleintdfractext dyy=2displaystyleintdfractext dxx&(5)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&ln|y|=ln(x^2)+C&(6)\\
mathfrak F^perp:&y=kx^2.&(7)
endmatrix$$
As we have $y(1)=1$ for $C_1$ and $y(1)=-1$ for $C_2$ then $$beginmatrix
C_1:&y=x^2\
C_2:&y=-x^2,\
endmatrix$$ so the integral for $|x|leq4$ becomes $$textArea=dfrac2563,$$ according to WolframAlpha.
Is this correct? By the way I am not sure if the first steps are correct, because when I derive in the first equation $K$ dissapears (I know this is a constant, but sometimes we need to replace $x^2+2y^2=K$ inside the $mathfrak F$, and this time that did not happen).
Any help?
Thank you!

@amd when I plot $x^2+2y^2=K$ with the condition $y(1)=1,-1$ then $K=3$ so the ellipse becomes $x^2+2y^2=3$, and graphing this curve with $y=x^2$ and $y=-x^2$ I noticed that, in $(1,1)$ and $(1,-1)$, the curves are orthogonal. Please see this image. What am I doing wrong? How would you solve it?

@amd ok. But if a family of curves with $y'$ then for find the orthogonal family we need to replace $y'$ with $-1/y'$, so that is what I did between steps $(1)$ and $(2)$.

Sorry. I made a mistake of my own. The orthogonal curves are indeed parabolas. I’ll note that the $y$-axis is also an orthogonal curve to the family of ellipses, but can’t be expressed in the form $y=kx^2$. Consolidating the two constants of integration eliminates a solution to the differential equation, fortunately not an issue for this particular problem.

@amd no problem, the experts also have mistakes:)
. So, how is my work?

Seems fine to me. Did you really have to turn to W|A to integrate $2x^2$?
