  • $y\, sec\, x = tan\, x + c$
  • $y \,tan \,x = sec \,x + c$
  • $tan\, x = (sec \,x + c)y$
  • $sec \,x = (tan \,x + c)y$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$cos\, x \,dy = y\left(sin \,x - y\right) \,dx$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = y\, tan\,x \,y^{2}\, sec \,x$ $\frac{1}{y^{2}} \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{1}{y} \,tan\, x = -sec \,x$ Let $\frac{1}{y} = t$ $-\frac{1}{y^{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{dt}{dx}$ $-\frac{dy}{dx}- t \,tan\, x = -sec \,x \Rightarrow \frac{dt}{dx} + \left(tan\, x\right) \,t = sec\, x.$ $I.F. = e^{\int \,tan \,x\, dx} = sec\, x$ Solution is $t\left(I.F\right) = \int \left(I.F\right)\, sec\, x \,dx$ $\frac{1}{y} sec \,x = tan \,x + c$

Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point. It is mainly used in fields such as physics, engineering, biology and so on.

Orders of a Differential Equation

First Order Differential Equation

The first-order differential equation has a degree equal to 1. All the linear equations in the form of derivatives are in the first order. It has only the first derivative such as dy/dx, where x and y are the two variables and is represented as: dy/dx = f(x, y) = y’

Second-Order Differential Equation

The equation which includes second-order derivative is the second-order differential equation. It is represented as; d/dx(dy/dx) = d2y/dx2 = f”(x) = y”.

Types of Differential Equations

Differential equations can be divided into several types namely

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear Differential Equations
  • Nonlinear differential equations
  • Homogeneous Differential Equations
  • Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations
