The solution of the differential equation dy/dx = y tanx , y=1 when x=0 will be- |
sin x sec x tan x cot x |
sec x |
The given differential equation is dy/dx = y tanx ⇒ dy/y = tan x dx Integrating both sides, we get: ∫dy/y = ∫tan x dx ⇒ log y = log (sec x) + log C ⇒ log y = log (C sec x) ⇒ y = (C sec x)....................(eq. 1) now y= 1 when x= 0 ⇒1 = C × sec(0) ⇒ C = 1 now substituting C =1 in equation 1, we get: y = sec x
