Differential Equations

Question:

The solution of the differential equation dy/dx +(y/x) = cosx is-

Options:

⇒yx = (xsinx + cosx) + C

⇒yx = (xsinx - cosx) + C

⇒yx = (2xsinx + cosx) + C

⇒yx = (xsinx + 2cosx) + C

Correct Answer:

⇒yx = (xsinx + cosx) + C

Explanation:

The given differential equation is dy/dx +(y/x) = cosx

This ifs of the form dy/dx +Py = Q

where P = 1/x, Q= cos x

I.F. = e∫Pdx = e∫(1/x)dx =x 

The solution of the given differential equation is given by-

y(I.F.) = ∫(Q xI.F.)dx + C

⇒yx = ∫(cosx.x)dx + C 

⇒yx =(xsinx+cosx) + C
