Question

The solution of the differential equation



where 0 x < , and y (0) = 1, is given by :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
Cy2 = 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given,



   

Now, let

y2 t

   2y

    New equation,



   I.F

   

   sec x + tan x

   Solution is,

t(sec x + tan x) (sec x + tan x) dx

   t(sec x + tan x) sec x + tan x x + c

    t 1

   y2 1

Given,

y(0) 1

   1 1 0 + c

   c 0

   y2 1
