Differential Equations

Question:

The solution of the differential equation x5(dy/dx) = -y5 will be-

Options:

x-4 + 2y-4 =C

x-4 + 5y-4 =C

2x-4 + y-4 =C

x-4 + y-4 =C

Correct Answer:

x-4 + y-4 =C

Explanation:

The given  differential equation is

x5(dy/dx) = -y5

⇒dy/y5 = -(dx/x5)

⇒dx/x5 + dy/y5 = 0

Integrating both sides, we get:

∫(dx/x5 } + ∫{dy/y5} = k (where k is any constat)

(x-4/-4)  +( y-4/-4)  = k

⇒ x-4 + y-4 = -4k

⇒ x-4 + y-4 = C    (where C = -4k)
