Find the general solution of (1 + tany) (dx – dy) + 2xdy = 0.
Given: (1 + tany) (dx – dy) + 2xdy = 0
⇒ dx – dy + tany dx – tany dy + 2xdy = 0
Divide throughout by dy
Divide by (1 + tany)
Compare with
we get and Q = 1
This is linear differential equation where P and Q are functions of y
For the solution of linear differential equation, we first need to find the integrating factor
⇒ IF = e∫Pdy
Put
Add and subtract siny in numerator
Consider the integral
Put siny + cosy = t hence differentiating with respect to y
we get which means
dt = (cosy – siny)dy
Resubstitute t
Hence the IF will be
⇒ IF = ey + log(siny+cosy)
⇒ IF = ey × elog(siny+cosy)
⇒ IF = ey(siny + cosy)
The solution of linear differential equation is given by x(IF) = ∫Q(IF)dy + c
Substituting values for Q and IF
⇒ xey(siny + cosy) = ∫(1)ey(siny + cosy)dy + c
⇒ xey(siny + cosy) = ∫(eysiny + eycosy)dy + c
Put eysiny = t and differentiating with respect to y we get which means dt = (eysiny + eycosy)dy
Hence
⇒ xey(siny + cosy) = ∫dt + c
⇒ xey(siny + cosy) = t + c
Resubstituting t
⇒ xey(siny + cosy) = eysiny + c
