Question

If y(x) satisfies the differential equation

( sin x ) d y d x + y cos x = 1

subject to the condition y(π/2) = π/2, then y(π/6) is

Options :

  1. 0

  2. 𝜋/6

  3. 𝜋/3

  4. 𝜋/2

Show Answer

Answer :

𝜋/3

Solution :

( sin x ) d y d x + y cos x = 1

Dividing both sides by "sin x", the equation is reduced to

d y d x + y cot x = c o s e c x

The above equation is linear.

By comparing with standard linear equation i.e.

d y d x + P ( x ) y = Q ( x )

P(x) = cot x and Q(x) = cosec x.

We know that;

I . F . = e P d x

I . F . = e cot x d x = e log sin x = sin x

The solution is given by :

y ( I . F . ) = ( Q × I . F . ) d x + c

y × sin x = ∫(cosec x × sin x)dx + c

y × sin x = ∫dx + c

y sin x = x + c

Boundary condition: y(π/2) = π/2

π 2 sin π 2 = π 2 + c

∴ c = 0.

y sin x = x

y(π/6) equals;

y sin ( π 6 ) = π 6

y ( 1 2 ) = π 6

y = π 3
