Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The quotient rule derivative identity is given by: fracddxleft(fracf(x)x^2right) = fracx^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x)x^4 ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential condition: x^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x) = 3 ### Step 1: Divide by x^4 To convert the left-hand side into an exact derivative form, divide the full relation by x^4: fracx^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x)x^4 = frac3x^4 fracddxleft(fracf(x)x^2right) = 3x^-4 ### Step 2: Integration and Evaluating Constant Integrating both sides with respect to x [cite: 3893, 3894]: fracf(x)x^2 = int 3x^-4 dx = -x^-3 + C = -frac1x^3 + C f(x) = -frac1x + Cx^2 Using the given value f(1) = 4 [cite: 3264, 3896]: 4 = -frac11 + C(1)^2 Rightarrow 4 = -1 + C Rightarrow C = 5 Thus, the function is f(x) = -frac1x + 5x^2. ### Step 3: Calculating 2f(2) Substitute x = 2 to compute 2f(2) : 2 times f(2) = 2 times left[ -frac12 + 5(2)^2 right] 2 times f(2) = 2 times left[ -frac12 + 20 right] = -1 + 40 = 39 [cite: 3900, 3901] ### Pattern Recognition Recognizing the structure x^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x) as a partial quotient rule is faster than formatting it into standard linear order \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$ format, though both methods lead to the identical integration parameters safely. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

Q66 2025 Linear Differential Equations
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:

  • B. frac2mathrme^2 + mathrme64
  • C. frac2mathrme^2 - mathrme128
  • D. frac2mathrme^2 + mathrme128

Solution

### 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
