### Related Formula For a linear differential equation fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x): IF = e^int P(x) dx Solution: y cdot IF = int Q(x) cdot IF \, dx + C ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation into standard linear form: (1 - x^2) fracdydx = xy + (x^3 + 2)sqrt3(1 - x^2) fracdydx - fracx1 - x^2 y = frac(x^3 + 2)sqrt3(1 - x^2)1 - x^2 fracdydx - fracx1 - x^2 y = fracsqrt3(x^3 + 2)sqrt1 - x^2 Identify P(x) = -fracx1 - x^2. ### Step 1: Finding Integrating Factor (IF) IF = e^int -fracx1 - x^2 dx Let 1 - x^2 = t Rightarrow -2x dx = dt Rightarrow -x dx = fracdt2. IF = e^frac12 int frac1t dt = e^frac12 ln t = e^ln sqrtt = sqrt1 - x^2 ### Step 2: General Solution The solution is given by: y sqrt1 - x^2 = int left( fracsqrt3(x^3 + 2)sqrt1 - x^2 right) sqrt1 - x^2 \, dx + C y sqrt1 - x^2 = sqrt3 int (x^3 + 2) \, dx + C y sqrt1 - x^2 = sqrt3 left( fracx^44 + 2x right) + C ### Step 3: Finding Constant C Using y(0) = 0: 0 cdot 1 = sqrt3(0 + 0) + C Rightarrow C = 0 So, y(x) = fracsqrt3sqrt1 - x^2 left( fracx^44 + 2x right). ### Step 4: Evaluating required point Substitute x = 1/2: yleft(frac12right) = fracsqrt3sqrt1 - 1/4 left( frac1/164 + 2left(frac12right) right) Wait, frac(1/2)^44 = frac1/164 = frac164. Let's recheck the expression: yleft(frac12right) = fracsqrt3sqrt3/4 left( frac164 + 1 right) = fracsqrt3sqrt3/2 left( frac6564 right) = 2 times frac6564 = frac6532 Here, m = 65 and n = 32. They are co-prime. Thus, m + n = 65 + 32 = 97. ### Pattern Recognition Whenever roots matching the integration denominator appear on the RHS of a linear differential setup, it is a high-confidence signal that the integrating factor cleanly annihilates the fractional root component during the solution stage. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Differential Equations

The DE becomes: fracdtdy + t = -t^2 e^2y This is a Bernoulli equation in t. Divide by t^2: frac1t^2fracdtdy + frac1t = -e^2y Substitute u = frac1t implies fracdudy = -frac1t^2fracdtdy. -fracdudy + u = -e^2y implies fracdudy - u = e^2y This is a linear DE in u with respect to y. P(y) = -1, Q(y) = e^2y. Integrating Factor: I.F. = e^int -1 dy = e^-y. Solution: u e^-y = int e^2y e^-y dy = int e^y dy = e^y + C Substitute u = frac1tan x: frace^-ytan x = e^y + C Use given condition y(pi/4) = 0: frace^0tan(pi/4) = e^0 + C implies 1 = 1 + C implies C = 0 Therefore, frace^-ytan x = e^y implies tan x = e^-2y.
