Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Long Answer #45

Solve xy′ + x cos²(y/x) = y, y(1) = π/4.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y = x arctan(1 − ln x), x > 0.
  1. Put v = y/x; y′ = v + xv′. Then xv′ = −cos²v.
  2. Near v(1) = π/4, integrate sec²v dv = −dx/x to obtain tan v = −ln x + C.
  3. The condition tan(π/4) = 1 gives C = 1. The continuous branch through π/4 is v = arctan(1 − ln x).
  4. Thus y = x arctan(1 − ln x), x > 0.
