Here, P(x) = -fracsin 2x1+cos^2 x. I.F. = e^int -fracsin 2x1+cos^2 x dx Let 1+cos^2 x = t, then dt = -2cos xsin x \, dx = -sin 2x \, dx.

### Related Formula int frac11+y^2 dy = tan^-1y + C int f(x) f'(x) dx = frac[f(x)]^22 + C tan(A - B) = fractan A - tan B1 + tan A tan B ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation to separate variables x and y: (1+y^2)(1+log_e x)dx + x dy = 0 frac1+log_e xx dx + frac11+y^2 dy = 0 Integrate both sides: int frac1+log_e xx dx + int frac11+y^2 dy = C ### Step 1: Execute Integration For the first integral, let u = 1+log_e x, so du = frac1x dx. int u \, du = fracu^22 = frac(1+log_e x)^22 For the second integral: int frac11+y^2 dy = tan^-1y Putting them together: frac(1+log_e x)^22 + tan^-1y = C ### Step 2: Apply Boundary Conditions The curve passes through (1, 1). Substitute x=1, y=1: frac(1+log_e 1)^22 + tan^-1(1) = C Since log_e 1 = 0 and tan^-1(1) = fracpi4: frac1^22 + fracpi4 = C Rightarrow C = frac12 + fracpi4 Wait, the solution rearranges differently: int (frac1x + fracln xx) dx = ln x + frac(ln x)^22. Let's use this to stay fully synced with the PDF's algebraic step. ln x + frac(ln x)^22 + tan^-1 y = C At (1,1): ln(1) + frac(ln 1)^22 + tan^-1(1) = C Rightarrow 0 + 0 + fracpi4 = C Rightarrow C = fracpi4 The general equation simplifies nicely to: ln x + frac(ln x)^22 + tan^-1 y = fracpi4 ### Step 3: Evaluate at x = e Substitute x=e into the equation to find y(e): ln e + frac(ln e)^22 + tan^-1 y = fracpi4 1 + frac1^22 + tan^-1 y = fracpi4 frac32 + tan^-1 y = fracpi4 tan^-1 y = fracpi4 - frac32 y = tanleft(fracpi4 - frac32right) Using the compound angle formula tan(A-B): y = fractan(pi/4) - tan(3/2)1 + tan(pi/4)tan(3/2) = frac1 - tan(3/2)1 + tan(3/2) Comparing this format to y(e) = fracalpha-tan(3/2)beta+tan(3/2) gives: alpha = 1, quad beta = 1 Calculate alpha + 2beta: 1 + 2(1) = 3 ### Pattern Recognition For expressions involving separated x and y logarithmic terms, always split int frac1+ln xxdx into int frac1x + int fracln xx to avoid carrying a non-zero shift frac12 into the constant C. This allows direct identity matching for tangent sums. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 11 Mathematics: Trigonometric Functions

### Related Formula textChain rule for partial differentiation: fracpartialpartial x fleft(fracxyright) = f'left(fracxyright) cdot frac1y ### Core Logic Given functional equation: fleft(fracxyright) = fracf(x)f(y) First, put x=1, y=1: f(1) = fracf(1)f(1) Rightarrow f(1) = 1 (since f(y) neq 0 implies f(1) neq 0). ### Step 1: Partial Differentiation Partially differentiate the given equation with respect to x, keeping y constant: f'left(fracxyright) cdot frac1y = frac1f(y) cdot f'(x) Let x to y so that fracxy to 1. Wait, let's substitute y = x directly: f'(1) cdot frac1x = frac1f(x) cdot f'(x) ### Step 2: Forming the Final Equation We are given f'(1) = 2024. Substituting this value: 2024 cdot frac1x = fracf'(x)f(x) Cross-multiplying yields: 2024 f(x) = x f'(x) Rightarrow x f'(x) - 2024 f(x) = 0 ### Pattern Recognition Functional equations of the form f(x/y) = f(x)/f(y) inherently describe power functions (f(x) = x^k).
