A solution curve of the differential equation

(x2+xy+4x+2y+4)dydx−y2=0,\left( {{x^2} + xy + 4x + 2y + 4} \right){{dy} \over {dx}} - {y^2} = 0, x>0, passes through the

point (1,3)(1,3) . Then the solution curve

Multiple Choice Options

  • A intersects y=x+2y=x+2 exactly at one point
  • B intersects y=x+2y=x+2 exactly at two points
  • C intersects y=(x+2)2y = {\left( {x + 2} \right)^2}
  • D does NOT intersect  y=(x+3)2\,y = {\left( {x + 3} \right)^2}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Options (A) and (B): The given differential equation is

\left[x^2+4 x+4+y(x+2)\right] \frac{d y}{d x}-y^2=0 \quad(x>0)

which is further simplified as follows:

[(x+2)2+y(x+2)]dydx−y2=0\left[(x+2)^2+y(x+2)\right] \frac{d y}{d x}-y^2=0

Substituting x+2=tx+2=t , we get

dxdy=dtdy\frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{d t}{d y}

Now,

(x+2)2+y(x+2)−y2dxdy=0(x+2)^2+y(x+2)-y^2 \frac{d x}{d y}=0

That is,

amp;t2+yt−y2dtdy=0amp;y2dtdy−yt−t2=0amp;1t2dtdy−1yt=1y2\begin{aligned}&t^2+y t-y^2 \frac{d t}{d y} =0 \\\\&y^2 \frac{d t}{d y}-y t-t^2 =0 \\\\&\frac{1}{t^2} \frac{d t}{d y}-\frac{1}{y t} =\frac{1}{y^2}\end{aligned}

Let 1t=z\frac{1}{t}=z ; therefore,

dtdy(−1t2)=dzdy\frac{d t}{d y}\left(-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)=\frac{d z}{d y}

Now,

−dzdy−zyamp;=1y2⇒dzdy+zy=−1y2⇒d(zy)amp;=∫−1ydy⇒zyamp;=−ln⁡∣y∣+ln⁡c⇒ytamp;=−ln⁡∣y∣+ln⁡c\begin{aligned} \frac{-d z}{d y}-\frac{z}{y} & =\frac{1}{y^2} \Rightarrow \frac{d z}{d y}+\frac{z}{y}=\frac{-1}{y^2} \\\\ \Rightarrow d(z y) & =\int-\frac{1}{y} d y \\\\ \Rightarrow z y & =-\ln |y|+\ln c \\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{y}{t} & =-\ln |y|+\ln c\end{aligned}

⇒y(x+2)=−ln⁡∣y∣+ln⁡c     ...(1)\Rightarrow \frac{y}{(x+2)}=-\ln |y|+\ln c ~~~~~...(1)

which passes through the point (1,3)(1,3) . Therefore, from Eq. (1), we get

amp;z3=−ln⁡3+c⇒c=ln⁡3eamp;yx+2=−ln⁡∣y∣+ln⁡3e=ln⁡(3e∣y∣)amp;3e∣y∣=ey/(x+2)amp;3e=∣y∣ey/(x+2)\begin{aligned}&\frac{z}{3} =-\ln 3+c \Rightarrow c=\ln 3 e \\\\&\frac{y}{x+2} =-\ln |y|+\ln 3 e=\ln \left(\frac{3 e}{|y|}\right) \\\\&\frac{3 e}{|y|} =e^{y /(x+2)} \\\\&3 e =|y| e^{y /(x+2)}\end{aligned}

Substituting y=(x+2)y=(x+2) , we get 3e=∣x+2∣e13 e=|x+2| e^1

∣x+2∣=3⇒x+2=−3,3⇒x=−5,1|x+2|=3 \Rightarrow x+2=-3,3 \Rightarrow x=-5,1

Therefore, x=1x=1 (since x≠−5)x \neq-5) .

JEE Advanced 2016 Paper 1 Offline Mathematics - Differential Equations Question 25 English Explanation
That is, the solution curve intersects y=(x+2)y=(x+2) exactly at one point and not at two points. Therefore, option (A) is correct and option (B) is incorrect.

Option (C): We have

3e∣(x+2)2∣=e(x+2)\frac{3 e}{\left|(x+2)^2\right|}=e^{(x+2)}

which meets at two points for x<0 and for x>0 , there is no intersection point.

Hence, option (C)(\mathrm{C}) is incorrect.

Option (D): We have

3e(x+3)2=e(x+3)2(x+2)=e(x+2)2+1+2(x+2)(x+2)=e2+1(x+2)+(x+2)\frac{3 e}{(x+3)^2}=e^{\frac{(x+3)^2}{(x+2)}}=e^{\frac{(x+2)^2+1+2(x+2)}{(x+2)}}=e^{2+\frac{1}{(x+2)}+(x+2)}

Therefore, there is no intersection point for x>0 . Hence option (D) is correct.
