Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Long Answer #59

Solve (x² − 1)y′ + 2xy = 2/(x² − 1), where x < −1 or x > 1.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (x² − 1)y = ln|(x − 1)/(x + 1)| + C.
  1. After division, P = 2x/(x² − 1); a convenient IF is x² − 1 on either given interval.
  2. Then [(x² − 1)y]′ = 2/(x² − 1).
  3. Use 2/(x² − 1) = 1/(x − 1) − 1/(x + 1), whose integral is ln|(x − 1)/(x + 1)|.
  4. Thus (x² − 1)y = ln|(x − 1)/(x + 1)| + C, on a connected interval in the stated domain.

  • [0.5 marks] After division, P = 2x/(x² − 1); a convenient IF is x² − 1 on either given interval.
  • [1 mark] Then [(x² − 1)y]′ = 2/(x² − 1).
  • [1 mark] Use 2/(x² − 1) = 1/(x − 1) − 1/(x + 1), whose integral is ln|(x − 1)/(x + 1)|.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus (x² − 1)y = ln|(x − 1)/(x + 1)| + C, on a connected interval in the stated domain.
