If a curve y = y(x) passes through the point left(1, fracpi2right) and satisfies the differential equation (7x^4 cot y - e^x mathrmcosec\,y) fracdxdy = x^5, x geq 1, then at x = 2, the value of cosine is:

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic Let's rearrange the given differential equation by expressing fracdydx: x^5 fracdydx = 7x^4 cot y - e^x csc y Dividing both sides by x^5: fracdydx = frac7x cot y - frace^xx^5 csc y Multiply the entire equation by sin y to clear denominators: sin y fracdydx - frac7x cos y = -frace^xx^5 This can be transformed into a linear form by substituting t = -cos y. Then fracdtdx = sin y fracdydx. ### Step 1: Solving the Linear ODE Substituting t leads to: fracdtdx + frac7x t = -frace^xx^5 This is a standard linear first-order ODE with P(x) = frac7x. The Integrating Factor (I.F.) is: textI.F. = e^int frac7x dx = e^7 ln x = x^7 The general solution is: t cdot x^7 = int left(-frace^xx^5right) cdot x^7 dx = -int x^2 e^x dx ### Step 2: Evaluating the Integration and Constant Using integration by parts for int x^2 e^x dx: int x^2 e^x dx = x^2 e^x - 2xe^x + 2e^x Substituting this back: -cos y cdot x^7 = -e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) + C cos y cdot x^7 = e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) - C Since the curve passes through left(1, fracpi2right): cosleft(fracpi2right) cdot (1)^7 = e^1(1^2 - 2(1) + 2) - C implies 0 = e(1) - C implies C = e ### Step 3: Calculating cos y at x = 2 Now substitute x = 2 and C = e into our equation block: cos y cdot (2^7) = e^2(2^2 - 2(2) + 2) - e cos y cdot 128 = e^2(4 - 4 + 2) - e = 2e^2 - e cos y = frac2e^2 - e128 ### Pattern Recognition When trigonometric terms are mixed inside an ODE containing derivative blocks like fracdxdy or fracdydx, check if clearing denominators using sin y or cos y reveals a standard substitution path for a Linear ODE. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

### Related Formula Standard first-order linear differential equation form: fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) Integrating factor: textI.F. = e^int P(x) dx ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation: sqrt4-x^2 fracdydx = left( sin^-1left(fracx2right) right)^3 - y sin^-1left(fracx2 ight) Divide both sides by sqrt4-x^2: fracdydx + fracsin^-1(x/2)sqrt4-x^2 y = frac(sin^-1(x/2))^3sqrt4-x^2 ### Step 1: Calculate Integrating Factor and Solve textI.F. = e^int fracsin^-1(x/2)sqrt4-x^2 dx = e^frac12 (sin^-1(x/2))^2 The general solution follows the structure: y = left( sin^-1left(fracx2right) right)^2 - 2 + C cdot e^-frac12 (sin^-1(x/2))^2 Using the initial condition y(2) = fracpi^2 - 84 = fracpi^24 - 2: fracpi^24 - 2 = left(fracpi2right)^2 - 2 + C cdot e^-fracpi^28 implies C = 0 Thus, the specific solution simplifies to: y(x) = left( sin^-1left(fracx2right) right)^2 - 2 ### Step 2: Evaluate at x=0 $y(0) = (sin^-1(0))^2 - 2 = 0 - 2 = -2 Therefore: y^2(0) = (-2)^2 = 4 ### Pattern Recognition Recognizing that the coefficient of y is precisely the derivative of frac12(sin^-1(x/2))^2 makes computing the linear integrating factor simple. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

Note sec(fracpi4) = sqrt2. left(-frac1ln 2right) left(lnsqrt2right)^3 = -frac12left(lnsqrt2right)^2 + C left(-frac1ln 2right) left(frac12ln 2right)^3 = -frac12left(frac12ln 2right)^2 + C implies C = 0 ### Step 4: Final Substitution for x = pi/6 With C=0, y = frac-12ln(sec x) = frac12ln(cos x). yleft(fracpi6right) = frac12lnleft(fracsqrt32right) = frac12left(frac12ln 3 - ln 2right) = frac1ln 3 - ln 4 ### Pattern Recognition Logarithmic functions nested inside trigonometric terms generally point to substitution structures where ln(sec x) works cleanly alongside its derivative tan x \, dx. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations
