Short Answer

Question: In Problems 1-30, solve the equation.

dydx+ytanx+sinx=0

y=cos  x  lncosx+Ccosx

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition and concepts to be used

Definition of Initial Value Problem: By an initial value problem for an nth-order differential equation Fx,y,dydx,...,dnydxn=0 we mean: Find a solution to the differential equation on an interval I that satisfies at x0 the n initial conditions

yx0=y0,dydxx0=y1,...dn-1ydxn-1x0=yn-1,,

Where x0I and y0,y1,...,yn-1 are given constants.

Formulae to be used:

  • Integration by parts:. udv=uv-vdu
  • xadx=xa+1a+1+C.
  • 1xdx=lnx+C
  • dydx+Pxy=Qx

Step 2: Given information and simplification

Given that, dydx+ytanx+sinx=0......(1)

Let Px=tanx.

Find the value of μx.

μx=ePxdx=etanxdx=e-lncosx=1cosx

Multiply 1cosx in equation (1) on both sides.

1cosxdydx+ytanx1cosx=-sinxcosxddx1cosxy=-sinxcosx

Now integrate the equation on both sides.

ddx1cosxydx=-sinxcosxdx1cosxy=-sinxcosxdx.....(2)

Step 3: Evaluation method

Find the value of -sinxcosxdx separately.

Let us take u=cosx and dx=-1sinxdu.

-sinxcosxdx=1udu=lnu+C=lncosx+C

Now substitute in equation (2)

1cosxy=lncosx+Cy=cos  x  lncos  x+Ccosx

Hence, the solution of the given initial value problem is

y=cosx  ln|cosx|+C  cosx
