Differential Equations

Question:

$\tan^{-1} x + \tan^{-1} y = C$ is general solution of the differential equation

Options:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 + y^2}{1 + x^2}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 + x^2}{1 + y^2}$

$(1 + x^2)dy + (1 + y^2)dx = 0$

$(1 + x^2)dx + (1 + y^2)dy = 0$

Correct Answer:

$(1 + x^2)dy + (1 + y^2)dx = 0$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $(1 + x^2)dy + (1 + y^2)dx = 0$ ##

Given that, $\tan^{-1} x + \tan^{-1} y = C$

On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get

$\frac{1}{1 + x^2} + \frac{1}{1 + y^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1 + y^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{1 + x^2}$

$\Rightarrow (1 + x^2) \, dy + (1 + y^2) \, dx = 0$
