Step 1: Understand the concept of orthogonal trajectories. Orthogonal trajectories are curves that intersect a given family of curves at right angles. To find them, we need to determine the slope of the given family of curves and then find the negative reciprocal of that slope.
Step 2: Start with the given family of curves, x^2 + 2y^2 = k^2. Differentiate this equation implicitly with respect to x to find the slope of the tangent line to the curves. Use the chain rule for differentiation.
Step 3: After differentiating, you will obtain an expression for dy/dx, which represents the slope of the tangent line to the given family of curves. Specifically, differentiate x^2 to get 2x and differentiate 2y^2 to get 4y(dy/dx). Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for dy/dx.
Step 4: To find the orthogonal trajectories, replace dy/dx with its negative reciprocal. This new slope represents the orthogonal direction. Write a differential equation using this new slope.
Step 5: Solve the differential equation obtained in Step 4 to find the equation of the orthogonal trajectories. The solution will lead to the equation y^2 - 2x^2 = C, which represents the orthogonal trajectories of the given family of curves.
