Differential Equations 3 Question 4

4. A curve passes through the point 1,π6. Let the slope of the curve at each point (x,y) be yx+secyx,x>0.

Then, the equation of the curve is

(2013 Adv.)

(a) sinyx=logx+12

(b) cosecyx=logx+2

(c) sec2yx=logx+2

(d) cos2yx=logx+12

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (a)

Solution:

  1. PLAN To solve homogeneous differential equation, i.e. substitute yx=v

y=vxdydx=v+xdvdx

Here, slope of the curve at (x,y) is

dydx=yx+secyx Put yx=vv+xdvdx=v+sec(v)xdvdx=sec(v)dvsecv=dxxcosvdv=dxxsinv=logx+logcsinyx=log(cx)

As it passes through 1,π6sinπ6=logc

logc=12sinyx=logx+12
