Question 46

MediumOriginal question

yy satisfies dydx=yx+cos⁡2yx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} + \cos^{2}\frac{y}{x} for x>0x > 0, and y=0y = 0 when x=1x = 1. What is yy when x=ex = e?

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. y=vxy = vx: xdvdx=cos⁡2vx\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos^{2}v, so sec⁡2v dv=dxx\sec^{2}v\,dv = \frac{dx}{x} and tan⁡yx=log⁡x+C\tan\frac{y}{x} = \log x + C; y(1)=0y(1) = 0 gives C=0C = 0.

  2. At x=ex = e: tan⁡ye=1\tan\frac{y}{e} = 1, so ye=π4\frac{y}{e} = \frac{\pi}{4} and y=eπ4y = \frac{e\pi}{4}.

Worth noting

π4\frac{\pi}{4} is v=yxv = \frac{y}{x}; yy is vv times x=ex = e.
