Question

If is the solution of the differential equation,

,

, then the function p(x) is equal to :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
Acot x

Step-by-step explanation


Differentiate w.r.t x

cosec x - cosec x.cot x

+ cosec x.cot x = cosec x

+ ycot x = cosec x

Compare this differential equation with given differential equation, we get

p(x) = cot x
