Q.

If x = f(y) is the solution of the differential equation (1+y2)+(x–2etan—1y)dydx=0, y∈(–π2,π2) with f(0) = 1, then f(13) is equal to :          [2025]

1 eπ/6  
2 eπ/12  
3 eπ/3  
4 eπ/4  

Ans.

(1)

dxdy+x1+y2=2etan–1y1+y2, which is linear differential equation of first order.

I.F.=e∫dy1+y2=etan—1y

Thus, the required solution is given by

xetan—1y=∫2(etan—1y)21+y2dy

Put tan—1y=t, dy1+y2=dt          ∴ xetan–1y=e2 tan–1y+c

Given, f(0) = 1, we get 1 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 0

Therefore, x=etan–1y

⇒ f(13)=eπ6
