Solve the differential equation :
(tan-1 y – x)dy = (1 + y2)dx.
OR
Find the particular solution of the differential equation
given that y = 1, when x = 0.
Given,
(tan-1 y – x)dy = (1 + y2)dx
⇒ ![]()
Clearly, this is a linear differential equation. Comparing with the standard form
![]()
A solution of such equation is given by:
x(I.F) =
where I.F = integrating factor
We get P(y) =
& Q(y) = ![]()
Integrating factor I.F is given : ![]()
∴ I.F = ![]()
We know that: ![]()
∴ I.F = ![]()
∴ The solution is given as:
![]()
⇒
…(1)
Where I = ![]()
Let tan-1y = u
⇒ du = ![]()
∴ I = ![]()
Using integration by parts:
I = ![]()
∴ I = ![]()
⇒ I = ![]()
∴ the solution is given using equation 1:
![]()
⇒ ![]()
OR
Given,
…(1)
Clearly, the equation is homogeneous(can be observed directly)
We know that for solving a homogeneous we differential equation,
We take y = vx.
As y = vx
Differentiating both sides w.r.t x we get
![]()
⇒ ![]()
∴ equation 1 can be rewritten as-
![]()
⇒ ![]()
∴ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
Integrating both sides we get-
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
The above equation gives the general solution. For a particular solution, we need to find the value of C.
As given that at x = 0 ,y = 1
∴ ![]()
∴ C = 0.
Particular solution at x = 0 and x =1 is given by:
![]()
