Question
If y(x) satisfies the differential equation
subject to the condition y(π/2) = π/2, then y(π/6) is
Options :
0
𝜋/6
𝜋/3
𝜋/2
Answer :
𝜋/3
Solution :
Dividing both sides by "sin x", the equation is reduced to
The above equation is linear.
By comparing with standard linear equation i.e.
P(x) = cot x and Q(x) = cosec x.
We know that;
The solution is given by :
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
∴ c = 0.
y sin x = x
y(π/6) equals;
