Differential Equations

Question:

The substituting $y=v x$ reduces the homogeneous differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y}{x}+\tan \frac{y}{x}$ to the form

Options:

$(\tan v) d v=x d x$

$(\tan v) d v=\frac{d x}{x}$

$(\cot v) d v=x d x$

$\cot v d v=\frac{d x}{x}$

Correct Answer:

$\cot v d v=\frac{d x}{x}$

Explanation:

Substituting $y=v x$ and $\frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}$, we get

$v+\frac{d v}{d x}=v+\tan v \Rightarrow(\cot v) d v=\frac{1}{x} d x$
