Q.

Let y = f(x) be the solution of the differential equation dydx+xyx21=x6+4x1x2, – 1 < x < 1 such that f(0) = 0. If 61/21/2f(x)dx=2πα, then α2 is equal to __________.          [2025]


Ans.

(27)

From given differential equation, we have

I.F.=e122x1x2dx=e12ln(1x2)=1x2

Hence, solution of given D.E. is

y×1x2=(x6+4x)dx=x77+2x2+c

Given, y(0) = 0, then c = 0

  y=x77+2x21x2

Let  I=61212x77+2x21x2dx          ... (i)

 I=61212x77+2x21x2dx          ... (ii)

Adding (i) & (ii), we get

2I=241212x21x2dx=2×24012x21x2dx

Put x=sinθ  dx=cosθdθ

  I=240π6sin2θcosθcosθdθ

=240π6(1cos2θ2)dθ=12[θsin2θ2]0π6

=12(π634)=2π33

On comparing, we get α2=(33)2=27.
