Find the particular solution of the differential equation given that y = 0 when x = 1.

The given equation is



This is a homogenous equation.


Now put y = vx


differentiate w.r.t x



∴ (1) becomes








Integrating both sides, we get-








put v = y/x





Now put y = 0 and x = 1





put the value of C in (2), we have-



This is the particular solution.
