Solve the differential equation: $x \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \frac{dy}{dx} + x - y \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0$. Given that $x = 1$ when $y = \frac{\pi}{2}$. |
$\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \ln|x|$ $\sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \ln|x| + 1$ $-\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \ln|x^2|$ None of these |
$\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \ln|x|$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \ln|x|$ ## Given differential equation gives: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - x}{x \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}$ Put $\frac{y}{x} = v \Rightarrow y = vx$ and $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$ $∴v + x \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v \sin v - 1}{\sin v}$ $\Rightarrow x \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{-1}{\sin v}$ $\Rightarrow \int \sin v \, dv = \int \frac{-1}{x} \, dx$ $\Rightarrow -\cos v = -\log |x| + C$ $∴\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \log |x| - C$ Given $x = 1$ when $y = \frac{\pi}{2}$, then: $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \log |1| - C$ $\Rightarrow 0 = 0 - C$ $⇒C = 0$ $∴\cos\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \log |x| \text{ is the required solution.}$ |
