Q.

If the solution curve y = y(x) of the differential equation (1+y2)(1+loge x)dx+xdy=0, x > 0 passes through the point (1, 1) and y(e)=α–tan(32)β+tan(32) then α+2β is __________.          [2024]


Ans.

(3)

We have, (1+y2)(1+loge x)dx+xdy=0

⇒ dy1+y2=–(1+loge x)dxx

Integrating both sides, we get

tan–1y=–12(1+loge x)2+C                        ...(i)

At (1, 1), π4=–12+C ⇒ C=π4+12

∴ y=tan{π4+12[1–(1+loge x)2]}

⇒ y(e)=tan(π4+12–2)

=tan[π4–32]=tanπ4–tan321+tanπ4tan32=1–tan321+tan32

So, α = 1 and β = 1

∴ α+2β=3.
