We get #dx=3 \ dt# and #dy=6x \ dt = 2x \ dx# or #y=x^2+C# through the origin, choice (1).

Explanation:

#V=3i+6xj#

Given a point on the curve #X=x i+yj#, a short time #dt# later the small vector #dX# we add to #X# to get a nearby point on the curve is given by

# dX = V dt #

We write this in terms of the components,

# dx = 3 \ dt #

#dt = dx/3#

# dy = 6x \ dt = 6x \ dx / 3= 2 x \ dx#

Integrating,

#y = x^2 + C#

The launch point is the origin, so #(0,0)# is on the curve, so #C=0.#

Choice (1).

Explanation:

Given #vecv=3hati+6hatj#
As #xand y# are orthogonal to each other these can be treated separately. Splitting velocity we get

#v_x=3#

We know that velocity means #x# changes by #dx# in infinitesimal time #dt#. Hence above equation becomes

#dx=3dt#

Integrating both sides with respective variables we get

#int\ dx=int\ 3dt#
#=>x=3t+c#
where #c# is constant of integration.

To evaluate #c# we use initial condition. Given #x=0# at #t=0#. Inserting this in above equation we get #c=0#. Hence our equation becomes

#x=3t# .........(1)

Similarly for #v_y#

#v_y=6x#

We know that velocity means #y# changes by #dy# in infinitesimal time #dt#. Hence above equation becomes

#dy=6xdt#

Using (1)

#dy=6(3t)dt#
#dy=18tdt#

Integrating both sides with respective variables we get

#int\ dy=18int\ tdt#
#=>y=18xxt^2/2+c_1#
#=>y=9t^2+c_1#
where #c_1# is constant of integration.

To evaluate #c_1# we use initial condition. Given #y=0# at #t=0#. Inserting this in above equation we get #c_1=0#. Hence our equation becomes

#y=6t^2# .........(2)

Eliminating #t# from (1) and (2) we get

#y=x^2#

Alternate solution in this case.

Explanation:

Given #vecv=3hati+6hatj#
As #xand y# are orthogonal to each other these can be treated separately. Splitting velocity we get

#v_x=3#

Using definition of velocity we get

#dotx=3#

Integrating both sides with respect to time we get

#int\ dotx\ dt=int\ 3\ dt#
#=>x=3t+c#
where #c# is constant of integration.

To evaluate #c# we use initial condition. Given #x=0# at #t=0#. Inserting this in above equation we get #c=0#. Hence our equation becomes

#x=3t# .........(1)

Similarly for #v_y#

#v_y=6x#
#=>dot v=6x#

Using (1)

#doty=6(3t)dt#
#=>doty=18t#

Integrating both sides with respect to time we get

#int\ doty\ dt=18int\ t\ dt#
#=>y=18xxt^2/2+c_1#
#=>y=9t^2+c_1#
where #c_1# is constant of integration.

To evaluate #c_1# we use initial condition. Given #y=0# at #t=0#. Inserting this in above equation we get #c_1=0#. Hence our equation becomes

#y=6t^2# .........(2)

Eliminating #t# from (1) and (2) we get trajectory of particle as

#y=x^2#

These solutions have been posted keeping in my that

#d/dt# in an expression #dx/dt# is an operator.
#because dx/dt# is actually #d/dt(x)#

Mathematicians feel that it is not good a idea to break the operator into numerator and denominator as we generally resort to in Physics problems.
