Question:

The solution for the differential equation ${ \frac{dy}{y} +\frac{ dx}{x} = 0 }$ is

Updated On: Apr 14, 2024
  • ${\frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{x} = c }$
  • $\log \, x . \log \, y = c$
  • $x \, y = c$
  • $x + y = c$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We have, $\frac{d y}{y}+\frac{d x}{x}=0$
On integrating both sides, we get
$\log\, y+\log \,x=\log \,c$
$\Rightarrow \log \,x y=\log \,c$
$x y=c$

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
