  • B y2 = 1 + xsec⁡x+tan⁡x{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}}
  • C y2 = 1 −- xsec⁡x+tan⁡x{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}}
  • D y = 1 + xsec⁡x+tan⁡x{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

dydx+y2sec⁡x=tan⁡x2y{{dy} \over {dx}} + {y \over 2}\sec x = {{\tan x} \over {2y}}

⇒\Rightarrow     2ydydx+y2sec⁡x=tan⁡x2y{{dy} \over {dx}} + {y^2}\sec x = \tan x

Now, let

y2 == t

⇒\Rightarrow    2y dydx=dtdx{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dt} \over {dx}}

∴\therefore     New equation,

dtdx+tsec⁡x=tan⁡x{{dt} \over {dx}} + t\sec x = \tan x

∴\therefore    I.F == e∫sec⁡xdx{e^{\int {\sec xdx} }}

==     eln⁡(sec⁡x+tan⁡x){e^{\ln \left( {\sec x + \tan x} \right)}}

==    sec x + tan x

∴\therefore    Solution is,

t(sec x + tan x) == ∫tan⁡x\int {\tan x} (sec x + tan x) dx

⇒\Rightarrow    t(sec x + tan x) == sec x + tan x −- x + c

⇒\Rightarrow     t == 1 −- xsec⁡x+tan⁡x+c{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}} + c

⇒\Rightarrow    y2 == 1 −- xsec⁡x+tan⁡x+c{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}} + c

Given,

y(0) == 1

∴\therefore    1 == 1 −- 0 + c

⇒\Rightarrow    c == 0

∴\therefore    y2 == 1 −- xsec⁡x+tan⁡x{x \over {\sec x + \tan x}}
