Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula For a linear differential equation of the form fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x): textIntegrating Factor (IF) = e^int P(x)dx textSolution is y cdot textIF = int (Q(x) cdot textIF) dx + C ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation to standard linear form: (1 + x^2)dy = (tan^-1x - y)dx fracdydx + fracyx^2 + 1 = fractan^-1xx^2 + 1 ### Step 1: Find the Integrating Factor P(x) = frac1x^2 + 1 textIF = e^int frac1x^2 + 1 dx = e^tan^-1x ### Step 2: Solve the Integral y cdot e^tan^-1x = int e^tan^-1x cdot fractan^-1x1 + x^2 dx Let t = tan^-1x, then dt = frac11 + x^2 dx. The integral becomes int t e^t dt. Using integration by parts: int t e^t dt = t e^t - e^t + C Substituting back t = tan^-1x: y cdot e^tan^-1x = tan^-1x(e^tan^-1x) - e^tan^-1x + C ### Step 3: Apply Boundary Condition Given y(0) = 1: 1 cdot e^0 = 0 cdot e^0 - e^0 + C 1 = 0 - 1 + C Rightarrow C = 2 ### Step 4: Evaluate at x = 1 Equation of curve: y = tan^-1x - 1 + 2e^-tan^-1x Evaluate at x = 1: y(1) = tan^-1(1) - 1 + 2e^-tan^-1(1) y(1) = fracpi4 - 1 + 2e^-pi/4 y(1) = frac2e^pi/4 + fracpi4 - 1 ### Pattern Recognition A classic LDE integration trap: int e^f(x) f(x) f'(x) dx resolves trivially with the substitution u = f(x) turning it into int u e^u du, which always evaluates to e^u(u - 1) + C. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Differential Equations Class 12 Maths: Integrals
