NCERT Solutions Class 12 Maths Chapter 9: Exercise 9.5

Question 1: Find the general solution:

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

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = \sin x$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where p = 2 and Q = sin x
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int 2dx}= e^{2x}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$Y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$Y(e^{\int 2x }) =\int (\sin x\times e^{\int 2x })dx +C$
Let $I =\int (\sin x\times e^{\int 2x })$
$I = \sin x \int e^{2x}dx- \int \left ( \frac{d(\sin x)}{dx}.\int e^{2x}dx \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = \sin x.\frac{e^{2x}}{2}- \int \left ( \cos x.\frac{e^{2x}}{2} \right )\\$

$\\ I = \sin x. \frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\left ( \cos x\int e^{2x}dx- \left ( \frac{d(\cos x)}{dx}.\int e^{2x}dx \right ) \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = \sin x\frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\left ( \cos x.\frac{e^{2x}}{2}+ \int \left ( \sin x.\frac{e^{2x}}{2} \right ) \right )\\$

$\\ I = \sin x\frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\left ( \cos x.\frac{e^{2x}}{2}+\frac{I}{2} \right ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because I = \int \sin xe^{2x})\\ \\ \frac{5I}{4}= \frac{e^{2x}}{4}\left ( 2\sin x-\cos x \right )\\$

$\\ I = \frac{e^{2x}}{5}\left ( 2\sin x-\cos x \right )$
Put the value of I in our equation
Now, our equation become
$Y.e^{x^2 }= \frac{e^{2x}}{5}\left (2 \sin x-\cos x \right )+C$
$Y= \frac{1}{5}\left (2 \sin x-\cos x \right )+C.e^{-2x}$
Therefore, the general solution is $Y= \frac{1}{5}\left (2 \sin x-\cos x \right )+C.e^{-2x}$

Question 2: Solve for general solution:

$\frac{dy}{dx} + 3y = e^{-2x}$

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} + 3y = e^{-2x}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where p = 3 and $Q = e^{-2x}$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int 3dx}= e^{3x}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by the relation
$Y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$Y(e^{ 3x }) =\int (e^{-2x}\times e^{ 3x })dx +C$
$Y(e^{ 3x }) =\int (e^{x})dx +C\\$

$Y(e^{3x})= e^x+C\\$

$Y = e^{-2x}+Ce^{-3x}$
Therefore, the general solution is $Y = e^{-2x}+Ce^{-3x}$

Question 3: Find the general solution

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

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{x} = x^2$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = \frac{1}{x}$ and $Q = x^2$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \frac{1}{x}dx}= e^{\log x}= x$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(x) =\int (x^2\times x)dx +C$
$y(x) =\int (x^3)dx +C\\$

$y.x= \frac{x^4}{4}+C\\$
Therefore, the general solution is $yx =\frac{x^4}{4}+C$

Question 4: Solve for General Solution.

$\frac{dy}{dx} + (\sec x)y = \tan x \ \left(0\leq x < \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} + (\sec x)y = \tan x \ \left(0\leq x < \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = \sec x$ and $Q = \tan x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \sec xdx}= e^{\log |\sec x+ \tan x|}= \sec x+\tan x$ $(\because 0\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2} \sec x > 0,\tan x > 0)$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(\sec x+\tan x) =\int ((\sec x+\tan x)\times \tan x)dx +C$
$y(\sec x+ \tan x) =\int (\sec x\tan x+\tan^2 x)dx +C\\$

$y(\sec x+ \tan x) =\sec x+\int (\sec^2x-1)dx +C\\$

$y(\sec x+ \tan x) = \sec x +\tan x - x+C$
Therefore, the general solution is $y(\sec x+ \tan x) = \sec x +\tan x - x+C$

Question 5: Find the general solution.

$\cos^2 x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = \tan x\left(0\leq x < \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$

Answer:

Given equation is
$\cos^2 x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = \tan x\left(0\leq x < \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}+\sec^2x y= \sec^2x\tan x$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ where $p = \sec ^2x$ and $Q =\sec^2x \tan x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \sec^2 xdx}= e^{\tan x}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(e^{\tan x}) =\int ((\sec^2 x\tan x)\times e^{\tan x})dx +C$
$ye^{\tan x} =\int \sec^2 x\tan xe^{\tan x}dx+C\\$
take
$e^{\tan x } = t\\$

$\Rightarrow \sec^2x.e^{\tan x}dx = dt$
$\int t.\log t dt = \log t.\int tdt-\int \left ( \frac{d(\log t)}{dt}.\int tdt \right )dt \\$

$\\ \int t.\log t dt = \log t . \frac{t^2}{2}- \int (\frac{1}{t}.\frac{t^2}{2})dt\\ $

$\\ \int t.\log t dt = \log t.\frac{t^2}{2}- \int \frac{t}{2}dt\\ $

$\\ \int t.\log t dt = \log t.\frac{t^2}{2}- \frac{t^2}{4}\\$

$\\ \int t.\log t dt = \frac{t^2}{4}(2\log t -1)$
Now put again $t = e^{\tan x}$
$\int \sec^2x\tan xe^{\tan x}dx = \frac{e^{2\tan x}}{4}(2\tan x-1)$
Put this value in our equation

$ye^{\tan x} =\frac{e^{2\tan x}}{4}(2\tan x-1)+C\\ \\$
Therefore, the general solution is $y =\frac{e^{\tan x}}{4}(2\tan x-1)+Ce^{-\tan x }\\$

Question 6: Solve for General Solution.

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

Answer:

Given equation is
$x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = x^2\log x$
Wr can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx} +2.\frac{y}{x}= x\log x$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = \frac{2}{x}$ and $Q = x\log x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \frac{2}{x}dx}= e^{2\log x}=e^{\log x^2} = x^2$ $(\because 0\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2} \sec x > 0,\tan x > 0)$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(x^2) =\int (x\log x\times x^2)dx +C$
$x^2y = \int x^3\log x+ C$
Let
$I = \int x^3\log x\\ \\ I = \log x\int x^3dx-\int \left ( \frac{d(\log x)}{dx}.\int x^3dx \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = \log x.\frac{x^4}{4}- \int \left ( \frac{1}{x}.\frac{x^4}{4} \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = \log x.\frac{x^4}{4}- \int \left ( \frac{x^3}{4} \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = \log x.\frac{x^4}{4}-\frac{x^4}{16}$
Put this value in our equation
$x^2y =\log x.\frac{x^4}{4}-\frac{x^4}{16}+ C\\$

$\\ y = \frac{x^2}{16}(4\log x-1)+C.x^{-2}$
Therefore, the general solution is $y = \frac{x^2}{16}(4\log x-1)+C.x^{-2}$

Question 7: Solve for general solutions.

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

Answer:

Given equation is
$x\log x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = \frac{2}{x}\log x$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{y}{x\log x}= \frac{2}{x^2}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = \frac{1}{x\log x}$ and $Q =\frac{2}{x^2}$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \frac{1}{x\log x} dx}= e^{\log(\log x)} = \log x$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(\log x) =\int ((\frac{2}{x^2})\times \log x)dx +C$

take
$I=\int ((\frac{2}{x^2})\times \log x)dx$
$I = \log x.\int \frac{2}{x^2}dx-\int \left ( \frac{d(\log x)}{dt}.\int \frac{x^2}{2}dx \right )dx \\$

$\\ I= -\log x . \frac{2}{x}+ \int (\frac{1}{x}.\frac{2}{x})dx\\$

$\\ I = -\log x.\frac{2}{x}+ \int \frac{2}{x^2}dx\\$

$\\I = -\log x.\frac{2}{x}- \frac{2}{x}\\ \\$
Put this value in our equation

$y\log x =-\frac{2}{x}(\log x+1)+C\\ \\$
Therefore, the general solution is $y\log x =-\frac{2}{x}(\log x+1)+C\\ \\$

Question 8: Find the general solution.

$(1 + x^2)dy + 2xydx = \cot x dx\ (x\neq 0)$

Answer:

Given equation is
$(1 + x^2)dy + 2xydx = \cot x dx\ (x\neq 0)$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2xy}{(1+x^2)}= \frac{\cot x}{1+x^2}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = \frac{2x}{1+ x^2}$ and $Q =\frac{\cot x}{1+x^2}$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \frac{2x}{1+ x^2} dx}= e^{\log(1+ x^2)} = 1+x^2$
Now, the solution of the given differential equation is given by the relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(1+x^2) =\int ((\frac{\cot x}{1+x^2})\times (1+ x^2))dx +C$
$y(1+x^2) =\int \cot x dx+C\\$

$\\ y(1+x^2)= \log |\sin x|+ C\\$

$\\ y = (1+x^2)^{-1}\log |\sin x|+C(1+x^2)^{-1}$
Therefore, the general solution is $y = (1+x^2)^{-1}\log |\sin x|+C(1+x^2)^{-1}$

Question 9: Solve for general solution.

$x\frac{dy}{dx} + y -x +xy \cot x = 0\ (x \neq 0)$

Answer:

Given equation is
$x\frac{dy}{dx} + y -x +xy \cot x = 0\ (x \neq 0)$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}+y.\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\cot x \right )= 1$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p =\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\cot x \right )$ and $Q =1$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \left ( \frac{1}{x}+\cot x \right ) dx}= e^{\log x +\log |\sin x|} = x.\sin x$
Now, the solution of the given differential equation is given by the relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(x.\sin x) =\int 1\times x\sin xdx +C$
$y(x.\sin x) =\int x\sin xdx +C$
Lets take
$I=\int x\sin xdx \\$

$\\ I = x .\int \sin xdx-\int \left ( \frac{d(x)}{dx}.\int \sin xdx \right )dx\\$

$\\ I =- x.\cos x+ \int (\cos x)dx\\ $

$\\ I = -x\cos x+\sin x$
Put this value in our equation
$y(x.\sin x)= -x\cos x+\sin x + C\\$

$y = -\cot x+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{C}{x\sin x}$
Therefore, the general solution is $y = -\cot x+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{C}{x\sin x}$

Question 10: Find the general solution.

$(x+y)\frac{dy}{dx} = 1$

Answer:

Given equation is
$(x+y)\frac{dy}{dx} = 1$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x+y}\\$

$\\ x+ y =\frac{dx}{dy}\\ \\ \frac{dx}{dy}-x=y$
This is $\frac{dx}{dy} + px = Q$ type where $p =-1$ and $Q =y$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdy}= e^{\int -1 dy}= e^{-y}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$x(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dy +C$
$x(e^{-y}) =\int y\times e^{-y}dy +C$
$xe^{-y}= \int y.e^{-y}dy + C$
Lets take
$I=\int ye^{-y}dy \\ $

$\\ I = y .\int e^{-y}dy-\int \left ( \frac{d(y)}{dy}.\int e^{-y}dy \right )dy\\$

$\\ I =- y.e^{-y}+ \int e^{-y}dy\\ \\ I = - ye^{-y}-e^{-y}$
Put this value in our equation
$x.e^{-y} = -e^{-y}(y+1)+C\\ $

$x = -(y+1)+Ce^{y}\\ $

$x+y+1=Ce^y$
Therefore, the general solution is $x+y+1=Ce^y$

Question 11: Solve for general solution.

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

Answer:

Given equation is
$y dx + (x - y^2)dy = 0$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dx}{dy}+\frac{x}{y}=y$
This is $\frac{dx}{dy} + px = Q$ type where $p =\frac{1}{y}$ and $Q =y$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdy}= e^{\int \frac{1}{y} dy}= e^{\log y } = y$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$x(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dy +C$
$x(y) =\int y\times ydy +C$
$xy= \int y^2dy + C$
$xy = \frac{y^3}{3}+C$
$x = \frac{y^2}{3}+\frac{C}{y}$
Therefore, the general solution is $x = \frac{y^2}{3}+\frac{C}{y}$

Question 12: Find the general solution.

$(x+3y^2)\frac{dy}{dx} = y\ (y > 0)$

Answer:

Given equation is
$(x+3y^2)\frac{dy}{dx} = y\ (y > 0)$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dx}{dy}-\frac{x}{y}= 3y$
This is $\frac{dx}{dy} + px = Q$ type where $p =\frac{-1}{y}$ and $Q =3y$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdy}= e^{\int \frac{-1}{y} dy}= e^{-\log y } =y^{-1}= \frac{1}{y}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$x(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dy +C$
$x(\frac{1}{y}) =\int 3y\times \frac{1}{y}dy +C$
$\frac{x}{y}= \int 3dy + C$
$\frac{x}{y}= 3y+ C$
$x = 3y^2+Cy$
Therefore, the general solution is $x = 3y^2+Cy$

Question 13: Solve for particular solution.

$\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y \tan x = \sin x; \ y = 0 \ when \ x =\frac{\pi}{3}$

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y \tan x = \sin x; \ y = 0 \ when \ x =\frac{\pi}{3}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p = 2\tan x$ and $Q = \sin x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int 2\tan xdx}= e^{2\log |\sec x|}= \sec^2 x$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(\sec^2 x) =\int ((\sin x)\times \sec^2 x)dx +C$
$y(\sec^2 x) =\int (\sin \times \frac{1}{\cos x}\times \sec x)dx +C\\$

$\\ y(\sec^2 x) = \int \tan x\sec xdx+ C\\$

$\\ y.\sec^2 x= \sec x+C$
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that y = 0 when $x= \frac{\pi}{3}$
at $x= \frac{\pi}{3}$
$\sec \frac{\pi}{3} = \sec \frac{\pi}{3}+C\\$

$\\ C = - 2$
Now,

$y.\sec^2 x= \sec x - 2\\$

$\frac{y}{\cos ^2x}= \frac{1}{\cos x}- 2\\$

$y = \cos x- 2\cos ^2 x$
Therefore, the particular solution is $y = \cos x- 2\cos ^2 x$

Question 14: Solve for particular solution.

$(1 + x^2)\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy =\frac{1}{1 + x^2}; \ y = 0 \ when \ x = 1$

Answer:

Given equation is
$(1 + x^2)\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy =\frac{1}{1 + x^2}; \ y = 0 \ when \ x = 1$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2xy}{1+x^2}=\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p =\frac{2x}{1+x^2}$ and $Q = \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int \frac{2x}{1+x^2}dx}= e^{\log |1+x^2|}= 1+x^2$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(1+ x^2) =\int (\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}\times (1+x^2))dx +C$
$y(1+x^2) =\int \frac{1}{(1+x^2)}dx +C\\ $

$\\ y(1+x^2) = \tan^{-1}x+ C\\ \\$
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that y = 0 when x = 1
at x = 1
$0.(1+1^2) = \tan^{-1}1+ C\\$

$\\ C =- \frac{\pi}{4}$
Now,
$y(1+x^2)= \tan^{-1}x- \frac{\pi}{4}$
Therefore, the particular solution is $y(1+x^2)= \tan^{-1}x- \frac{\pi}{4}$

Question 15: Find the particular solution.

$\frac{dy}{dx} - 3y \cot x = \sin 2x;\ y = 2\ when \ x = \frac{\pi}{2}$

Answer:

Given equation is
$\frac{dy}{dx} - 3y \cot x = \sin 2x;\ y = 2\ when \ x = \frac{\pi}{2}$
This is $\frac{dy}{dx} + py = Q$ type where $p =-3\cot x$ and $Q =\sin 2x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{-3\cot xdx}= e^{-3\log|\sin x|}= \sin ^{-3}x= \frac{1}{\sin^3x}$
Now, the solution of given differential equation is given by relation
$y(I.F.) =\int (Q\times I.F.)dx +C$
$y(\frac{1}{\sin^3 x}) =\int (\sin 2x\times\frac{1}{\sin^3 x})dx +C$
$\frac{y}{\sin^3 x} =\int (2\sin x\cos x\times\frac{1}{\sin^3 x})dx +C$
$\frac{y}{\sin^3 x} =\int (2\times \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\times\frac{1}{\sin x})dx +C$
$\frac{y}{\sin^3 x} =\int (2\times\cot x\times cosec x)dx +C$
$\frac{y}{\sin^3 x} =-2cosec x +C$
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that y = 2 when $x= \frac{\pi}{2}$
at $x= \frac{\pi}{2}$
$\frac{2}{\sin^3\frac{\pi}{2}} = -2cosec \frac{\pi}{2}+C\\$

$\\ 2 = -2 +C\\ C = 4$
Now,
$y= 4\sin^3 x-2\sin^2x\\$
Therefore, the particular solution is $y= 4\sin^3 x-2\sin^2x\\$

Question 16: Find the equation of a curve passing through the origin given that the slope of the tangent to the curve at any point (x, y) is equal to the sum of the coordinates of the point.

Answer:

Let f(x , y) is the curve passing through origin
Then, the slope of tangent to the curve at point (x , y) is given by $\frac{dy}{dx}$
Now, it is given that
$\frac{dy}{dx} = y + x\\$

$\\ \frac{dy}{dx}-y=x$
It is $\frac{dy}{dx}+py=Q$ type of equation where $p = -1 \ and \ Q = x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int -1dx }= e^{-x}$
Now,
$y(I.F.)= \int (Q \times I.F. )dx+ C$
$y(e^{-x})= \int (x \times e^{-x} )dx+ C$
Now, Let
$I= \int (x \times e^{-x} )dx \\$

$\\ I = x.\int e^{-x}dx-\int \left ( \frac{d(x)}{dx}.\int e^{-x}dx \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = -xe^{-x}+\int e^{-x}dx\\$

$\\ I = -xe^{-x}-e^{-x}\\$

$\\ I = -e^{-x}(x+1)$
Put this value in our equation
$ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x+1)+C$
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that curve passing through origin i.e. (x , y) = (0 , 0)
$0.e^{-0}= -e^{-0}(0+1)+C\\$

$\\ C = 1$
Our final equation becomes
$ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x+1)+1\\$

$y+x+1=e^x$
Therefore, the required equation of the curve is $y+x+1=e^x$

Question 17: Find the equation of a curve passing through the point (0, 2) given that the sum of the coordinates of any point on the curve exceeds the magnitude of the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point by 5.

Answer:

Let f(x , y) is the curve passing through point (0 , 2)
Then, the slope of tangent to the curve at point (x , y) is given by $\frac{dy}{dx}$
Now, it is given that
$\frac{dy}{dx} +5= y + x \\$

$\\ \frac{dy}{dx}-y=x-5$
It is $\frac{dy}{dx}+py=Q$ type of equation where $p = -1 \ and \ Q = x- 5$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int -1dx }= e^{-x}$
Now,
$y(I.F.)= \int (Q \times I.F. )dx+ C$
$y(e^{-x})= \int ((x-5) \times e^{-x} )dx+ C$
Now, Let
$I= \int ((x-5) \times e^{-x} )dx \\$

$\\ I = (x-5).\int e^{-x}dx-\int \left ( \frac{d(x-5)}{dx}.\int e^{-x}dx \right )dx\\$

$\\ I = -(x-5)e^{-x}+\int e^{-x}dx\\$

$\\ I = -xe^{-x}-e^{-x}+5e^{-x}\\ $

$\\ I = -e^{-x}(x-4)$
Put this value in our equation
$ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x-4)+C$
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that curve passing through point (0 , 2)
$2.e^{-0}= -e^{-0}(0-4)+C\\$

$\\ C = -2$
Our final equation becomes
$ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x-4)-2\\$

$y=4-x-2e^x$
Therefore, the required equation of curve is $y=4-x-2e^x$

Question 18: The Integrating Factor of the differential equation $x\frac{dy}{dx} - y = 2x^2$ is

(A) $e^{-x}$

(B) $e^{-y}$

(C) $\frac{1}{x}$

(D) $x$

Answer:

Given equation is
$x\frac{dy}{dx} - y = 2x^2$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dy}{dx}-\frac{y}{x}= 2x$
Now,
It is $\frac{dy}{dx}+py=Q$ type of equation where $p = \frac{-1}{x} \ and \ Q = 2x$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdx} = e^{\int \frac{-1}{x}dx}= e^{\int -\log x }= x^{-1}= \frac{1}{x}$
Therefore, the correct answer is (C)

Question 19: The Integrating Factor of the differential equation $(1 - y^2)\frac{dx}{dy} + yx = ay \ \ (-1<y<1)$ is

(A) $\frac{1}{{y^2 -1}}$

(B) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{y^2 -1}}$

(C) $\frac{1}{{1 - y^2 }}$

(D) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - y^2 }}$

Answer:

Given equation is
$(1 - y^2)\frac{dx}{dy} + yx = ay \ \ (-1<y<1)$
we can rewrite it as
$\frac{dx}{dy}+\frac{yx}{1-y^2}= \frac{ay}{1-y^2}$
It is $\frac{dx}{dy}+px= Q$ type of equation where $p = \frac{y}{1-y^2}\ and \ Q = \frac{ay}{1-y^2}$
Now,
$I.F. = e^{\int pdy}= e^{\int \frac{y}{1-y^2}dy}= e^{\frac{\log |1 - y^2|}{-2}}= (1-y^2)^{\frac{-1}{2}}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}$
Therefore, the correct answer is (D)

Identifying Linear Differential EquationEquation in the form: $\frac{d y}{d x}+P y=Q$$\frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=6$
Finding the Integrating Factor (IF)Use: $I F=e^{\int P d x}$, where $P$ is the coefficient of $y$$I F=e^{\int 3 d x}=e^{3 x}$
Multiplying both sides with the IFMultiply full equation by IF to simplify into exact derivative$e^{3 x} \frac{d y}{d x}+3 e^{3 x} y=6 e^{3 x}$
Expressing as a derivativeLeft side becomes the derivative of y×IF$\frac{d}{d x}\left(y e^{3 x}\right)=6 e^{3 x}$
Integrating both sidesSolve the equation by integrating both sides$y e^{3 x}=\int 6 e^{3 x} d x=2 e^{3 x}+C$
Finding the General SolutionSolve for y from the integrated equation$y=2+C e^{-3 x}$
Finding Particular Solution (if values given)Use given values to calculate the constant CIf $y=5$ when $x=0: 5=2+C \Rightarrow C=3$

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?

Yes, you can switch from Science in Karnataka State Board to Commerce in CBSE for 12th. You will need a Transfer Certificate from your current school and meet the CBSE school’s admission requirements. Since you haven’t studied Commerce subjects like Accountancy, Economics, and Business Studies, you may need to catch up before or during 12th. Not all CBSE schools accept direct admission to 12th from another board, so some may ask you to join Class 11 first. Make sure to check the school’s rules and plan your subject preparation.
