Mathematics Question on General and Particular Solutions of a Differential Equation
The equation of the curve passing through the point (a,−a1) and satisfying the differential equation y−xdxdy=a(y2+dxdy) is
A
(x+a)(1+ay)=−4a2y
B
(x+a)(1−ay)=4a2y
C
(x+a)(1−ay)=−4a2y
D
None of these
Answer
(x+a)(1−ay)=−4a2y
Explanation
Solution
We have y−xdxdy=a(y2+dxdy)
⇒ydx−xdy=ay2dx+ady
⇒y(1−ay)dx=(x+a)dy
⇒x+adx−y(1−ay)dy=0
Integrating, we get
log(x+a)−logy+log(1−ay)=logC
or logy(a+x)(1−ay)=logC
i.e.(x+a)(1−ay)=Cy
Since the curve passes through (a,−a1)
∴2a×(1+1)=−aC
i.e C=−4a2
So, (x+a)(1−ay)=−4a2y
