Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula A linear differential equation of the first order matching fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) uses an Integrating Factor written as: textI.F. = e^int P(x) dx ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation terms to express it in standard linear form: (1 + x^2) fracdydx + xy = 5x^2sqrt1 + x^2 fracdydx + left(fracx1+x^2right)y = frac5x^2sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 1: Compute Integrating Factor Calculate the exponent integral for textI.F.: int P(x) dx = int fracx1+x^2 dx = frac12 ln(1+x^2) = lnsqrt1+x^2 textI.F. = e^lnsqrt1+x^2 = sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 2: General Solution and Boundary Condition The general solution template is: y cdot (textI.F.) = int Q(x) cdot (textI.F.) dx ysqrt1+x^2 = int frac5x^2sqrt1+x^2 cdot sqrt1+x^2 dx ysqrt1+x^2 = int 5x^2 dx = frac5x^33 + C Apply the initial condition y(0) = 0: 0 cdot sqrt1+0 = 0 + C implies C = 0 Thus, the explicit functional equation is: y = frac5x^33sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 3: Evaluate at Target Value Substitute x = sqrt3 into the isolated function: y(sqrt3) = frac5(sqrt3)^33sqrt1+(sqrt3)^2 = frac5(3sqrt3)3sqrt1+3 = frac15sqrt33 cdot 2 = frac5sqrt32 ### Pattern Recognition Spotting that multiplying across the differential equation format by sqrt1+x^2 converts the left hand side into a direct product rule derivative matching fracddx(ysqrt1+x^2) yields a direct integration pathway. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

Solution

### 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

  • A. frac2log_e(3) - log_e(4)
  • B. frac1log_e(4) - log_e(3)
  • C. -frac1log_mathrme(4)
  • D. frac1log_mathrme(3) - log_mathrme(4)

Solution

### Related Formula textStandard Linear Form: fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) textIntegrating Factor (I.F.) = e^int P(x) \, dx ### Core Logic Rearranging the equation to standard linear differential form: cos x (ln(cos x))^2 fracdydx - 3sin x ln(cos x)y = -sin x Divide by cos x (ln(cos x))^2: fracdydx - frac3tan xln(cos x)y = frac-tan x(ln(cos x))^2 Alternatively, writing in terms of sec x: fracdydx + frac3tan xln(sec x)y = frac-tan x(ln(sec x))^2 ### Step 1: Compute Integrating Factor I.F. = e^int frac3tan xln(sec x) \, dx = e^3ln(ln(sec x)) = (ln(sec x))^3 ### Step 2: Solve the Integral Solution y times (ln(sec x))^3 = -int fractan x(ln(sec x))^2 (ln(sec x))^3 \, dx y times (ln(sec x))^3 = -int tan x ln(sec x) \, dx = -frac12(ln(sec x))^2 + C ### Step 3: Apply Boundary Condition Given x = fracpi4, y = -frac1ln 2. 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
