NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 9 Differential Equations · Exercise 9.4 Question 2

Show the equation y′=\(\frac{x + y}{x}\) is homogeneous and solve it.

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y=x(log|x|+C), x≠0.
  1. After division the slope depends only on y/x (on a fixed sign component when radicals occur). Put y=vx, so y′=v+xv′.
  2. The reduced equation is x dv/dx=\(1\). Separate dv/(\(1\))=dx/x on branches where division is valid.
  3. Integration and back-substitution give \(- \log{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + \frac{y}{x}\) = C.
  4. Differentiate the resulting relation to recover the equation on intervals where the original expressions and the required slope are defined.
