Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Short Answer #38

Solve y′ = y tan x with y(0) = 1.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y = sec x, −π/2 < x < π/2.
  1. Separate dy/y = tan x dx near the nonzero initial value.
  2. Integrate ln|y| = −ln|cos x| + C, hence y cos x = C₁. At x = 0, C₁ = 1.
  3. Thus y = sec x on the maximal interval (−π/2, π/2) containing 0.
