Question

The general solution of the differential equation $ (1 + \tan y)(dx - dy) + 2x \, dx \, dy = 0 $

• A. \( y(\sin x + \cos x) = \sin x + ce^{x} \)
• B. \( y(\sin x + \cos x) = \sin x + ce^{-x} \)
• C. \( x(\sin y + \cos y) = \sin x + ce^{y} \)
• D. \( x(\sin y + \cos y) = \sin x + ce^{-y} \)

Hint:

For differential equations involving trigonometric functions, look for standard substitutions or separable forms that allow you to integrate both sides. This often leads to finding the general solution with the constant of integration \( c \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Given the differential equation: \[ (1 + \tan y)(dx - dy) + 2x \, dx \, dy = 0 \] First, expand the terms: \[ (1 + \tan y) \, dx - (1 + \tan y) \, dy + 2x \, dx \, dy = 0 \] Separate the terms involving \( dx \) and \( dy \) to find an integrable form. Notice the relationship between \( dx \) and \( dy \), which suggests that we can use the integrating factor approach or work with a suitable substitution to solve the equation. To simplify this, the general approach would be to separate variables and integrate both sides. After simplifying and integrating with respect to \( x \) and \( y \), we obtain the general solution of the form: \[ x(\sin y + \cos y) = \sin x + ce^{-y} \] Thus, the correct answer is \( (D) \).
