Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Very Long Answer #78

Solve (1 + e^(2x))dy + (1 + y²)eˣdx = 0, y(0) = 1.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y = e^(−x), x ∈ ℝ.
  1. Separate dy/(1 + y²) = −eˣdx/(1 + e^(2x)).
  2. Put t = eˣ, dt = eˣdx. Integrate to arctan y = −arctan(eˣ) + C.
  3. At (0, 1), π/4 = −π/4 + C gives C = π/2.
  4. Thus arctan y + arctan(eˣ) = π/2. Since eˣ > 0, y is its positive reciprocal.
  5. Therefore y = e^(−x), which directly satisfies the original equation and y(0) = 1.
