If a curve $y=f(x)$ passes through the point $(1,-1)$ and satisfies the differential equation $y(1+x y) d x=x d y$, then $f\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ is equal to |
$-\frac{2}{5}$ $-\frac{4}{5}$ $\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{4}{5}$ |
$\frac{4}{5}$ |
The differential equation is $y(1+x y) d x=x d y$ $\Rightarrow y d x-x d y=-x y^2 d x $ $\Rightarrow \frac{y d x-x d y}{y^2}=-x d x $ $\Rightarrow d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=-x d x$ On integrating, we obtain $\frac{x}{y}=-\frac{x^2}{2}+C$ ......(i) It is given that the curve given by (i) passes thought the point $(1,-1)$. ∴ $-1=-\frac{1}{2}+C \Rightarrow C=-\frac{1}{2}$ Putting $C=-\frac{1}{2}$ in (i), we obtain $y\left(x^2+1\right)+2 x=0$ .....(ii) Putting $x=-\frac{1}{2}$ in (ii), we obtain $y=\frac{4}{5}$. Hence, $f\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{4}{5}$ |
