II. 2 Marks Questions
Question 1.
Form the D.E of the family of curves $y=a e^{3 x}+b e^x$ where $a, b$ are parameters
Solution:
$
\begin{aligned}
& y=a e^{3 x}+b e^x \\
& \frac{d y}{d x}=3 \mathrm{ae}^{3 \mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{be}^{\mathrm{x}} \\
& \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=9 a e^{3 x}+b e^x \\
& \frac{d y}{d x}-y=2 a e^{3 x} \\
& \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}-\frac{d y}{d x}=6 a e^{3 x}=3\left(\frac{d y}{d x}-y\right) \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}-4 \frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=0 \\
&
\end{aligned}
$
Question 2.
Find the D.E of a family of curves $y=a \cos (\mathrm{mx}+\mathrm{b})$, $a$ and $\mathrm{b}$ are constants.
Solution:
$
\begin{aligned}
y & =a \cos (m x+b) \\
\frac{d y}{d x} & =-m a \sin (m x+b) \\
\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2} & =-m^2 a \cos (m x+b)=-m^2 y \\
\therefore \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+m^2 y & =0 \quad \text { is the required D.E }
\end{aligned}
$
Question 3.
Find the D.E by eliminating the constants a and $b$ from $y=a \tan x+b \sec x$
Solution:
$
\begin{aligned}
y & =a \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}+\frac{b}{\cos x} \\
y \cos x & =a \sin x+b \\
\Rightarrow y(-\sin x)+\cos x \frac{d y}{d x} & =a \cos x \\
\Rightarrow \quad-y \tan x+\frac{d y}{d x} & =a
\end{aligned}
$
Again differentiating w.r.t.x,
$
-y \sec ^2 x-\tan x \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0
$
Question 4.
Solve: $\frac{d y}{d x}=e^{7 x+y}$
Solution:
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{d y}{d x} & =e^{7 x} e^y \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{e^y}=e^{7 x} d x \\
\Rightarrow \int e^{-y} d y & =\int e^{7 x} d x+c \\
\Rightarrow-e^{-y} & =\frac{e^{7 x}}{7}+c \Rightarrow \frac{e^{7 x}}{7}+e^{-y}=c
\end{aligned}
$
Question 5.
Solve: $\left(x^2-a y\right) d x=\left(a x-y^2\right) d y$
Solution:
Writing the equation as
$
\begin{aligned}
& x^2 d x+y^2 d y=a(x d y+y d x) \\
& x^2 d x+y^2 d y=a d(x y) \\
& \int x^2 d x+\int y^2 d y=a \int d(x y)+c \\
& \frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{y^3}{3}=a x y+c
\end{aligned}
$
Hence the general solution is $x^3+y^3=3 a x y+c$
Question 6.
Solve $(\sin x+\cos x) d y+(\cos x-\sin x) d x=0$
Solution:
The given equation can be written as
$
\begin{aligned}
& d y+\frac{\cos x-\sin x}{\sin x+\cos x} d x=0 \\
\Rightarrow & \int d y+\int \frac{\cos x-\sin x}{\sin x+\cos x} d x=c \\
\Rightarrow & y+\log (\sin x+\cos x)=c
\end{aligned}
$
III. 3 and 5 Marks Questions
Question 1.
Solve $\frac{x d y}{d x}+\cos \mathrm{y}=0$, given $\mathrm{y}=\frac{\pi}{4}$ when $\mathrm{x}=\sqrt{ } 2$
Solution:
$
\begin{aligned}
x d y & =-\cos y d x \\
\therefore \int \sec y d y & =-\int \frac{d x}{x}+\log c \\
\log (\sec y+\tan y)+\log x & =\log c \\
\text { or } \quad x(\sec y+\tan y) & =c \\
\text { Put } x=\sqrt{2} \text { and } y & =\frac{\pi}{4} \\
\sqrt{2}\left(\sec \frac{\pi}{4}+\tan \frac{\pi}{4}\right) & =c \\
\text { (or } c=\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}+1) & =2+\sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ The particular solution is $x(\sec y+\tan y)=2+\sqrt{2}$
Question 2.
The slope of a curve at any point is the reciprocal of twice the ordinate of the point. The curve also passes through the point $(4,3)$. Find the equation of the curve.
Solution:
Slope at any point $(x, y)$ is the slope of the tangent at $(x, y)$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2 y} \\
& \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{y} \mathrm{dy}=\mathrm{dx} \\
& \Rightarrow \int 2 \mathrm{y} \mathrm{dy}=\int \mathrm{dx}+\mathrm{c} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}^2=\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{c}
\end{aligned}
$
Since the curve passes through $(4,3)$
we have $9=4+\mathrm{c} \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=5$
Equation of the curve is $y^2=x+5$
Question 3.
The net profit $\mathrm{P}$ and quantity $\mathrm{x}$ satisfy the differential equation $\frac{d p}{d x}=\frac{2 p^3-x^3}{3 x p^2}$. Find the relationship between the net profit and demand given that $p=20$ when $x=10$
Solution:
$\frac{d p}{d x}=\frac{2 p^3-x^3}{3 x p^2}$ is a homogeneous differential equation
Put $p=v x$ and $\frac{d p}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}$
$
\begin{aligned}
v+x \frac{d v}{d x} & =\frac{2 v^3-1}{3 v^2} \\
\Rightarrow \quad x \frac{d v}{d x} & =\frac{2 v^3-1}{3 v^2}-v=\frac{2 v^3-3 v^3-1}{3 v^2}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
x \frac{d v}{d x} & =\frac{-\left(1+v^3\right)}{3 v^2} \\
\int \frac{3 v^2}{1+v^3} d v & =-\int \frac{d x}{x} \\
\log \left(1+v^3\right) & =\log \frac{1}{x}+\log c \\
\log \left(1+v^3\right) & =\log \frac{c}{x} \Rightarrow(\text { i.e }) 1+v^3=\frac{c}{x} \\
\text { Replace } \quad v & =\frac{p}{x} ; x^3+p^3=c x^2
\end{aligned}
$
When $x=10, p=20$
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore(10)^3+(20)^3 & =c(10)^2 \\
1000+8000 & =c(100) \Rightarrow c=90 \\
\therefore x^3+p^3 & =90 x^2 \\
p^3 & =x^2(90-x) \text { is the required relationship }
\end{aligned}
$
Question 4.

Here $\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}$
The general solution is $y$ (I.F) $=\int \mathrm{Q}$ (I.F) $d x+c$
$
\begin{aligned}
\text { I.F } & =e^{\int p d x}=e^{\int a d x}=e^{a x} \\
\Rightarrow \quad y e^{a x} & =\int e^x e^{a x} d x+c \\
& =\int e^{(a+1) x} d x+c \\
\Rightarrow \quad y e^{a x} & =\frac{e^{(a+1) x}}{a+1}+c
\end{aligned}
$
Question 5.
Solve: $\frac{d y}{d x}+\mathrm{y} \cos \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \mathrm{x}$
Solution:
Here $P=\cos \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{Q}=\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \mathrm{x}$
$
\begin{aligned}
\int p d x & =\int \cos x d x=\sin x \\
\text { I.F } & =e^{\int p d x}=e^{\sin x}
\end{aligned}
$
The general solution is
$
\begin{aligned}
y e^{\sin x} & =\int \frac{1}{2} \sin 2 x e^{\sin x} d x+c \\
