JEE Main 2019Differential Equations Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot

Question

If y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation
, ,
such that y (0) = 0, then is equal to :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B

Step-by-step explanation


This is linear differential equation



Now solution is



Let tanx = t

sec2xdx = dt



yetanx = tet – et + c

yetanx = (tanx – 1)etanx + c

y = (tanx – 1) + c · e–tanx

Given y(0) = 0

0 = –1 + c c = 1
