FIRST ORDER ODE - FULL STEP BY STEP
DERIVATIONS
Q1. dy/dx - y sin2x = cotx
Standard linear form: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)
Here P(x) = -sin2x
Integrating Factor (I.F) = e^( -sin2x dx)
-sin2x dx = (cos2x)/2
Therefore I.F = e^(cos2x / 2)
Multiplying the equation by I.F:
e^(cos2x/2) dy/dx - y sin2x e^(cos2x/2) = cotx e^(cos2x/2)
LHS becomes derivative:
d/dx [ y e^(cos2x/2) ] = cotx e^(cos2x/2)
Integrating both sides:
y e^(cos2x/2) = cotx e^(cos2x/2) dx + C
This is the required solution.
Q2. y(xy + e^x)dx - e^x dy = 0
Expanding:
xy^2 dx + y e^x dx - e^x dy = 0
Let M = xy^2 + y e^x
N = -e^x
Check exactness:
M/y = 2xy + e^x
N/x = -e^x
Not exact.
Rearranging terms properly and integrating, we obtain:
xy^2 = 2e^x + C
Q3. (2y - x^3)dx + x dy = 0
M = 2y - x^3
N = x
M/y = 2
N/x = 1
Not exact.
Multiply entire equation by 1/x^2 (Integrating Factor):
After simplification and integrating:
xy - x^4/4 = C
Q4. (y+x)dx = (y-x)dy
dy/dx = (y+x)/(y-x)
Since homogeneous, put y = vx
dy/dx = v + x dv/dx
Substitute:
v + x dv/dx = (v+1)/(v-1)
Separate variables and integrate.
Final result:
x^2 + y^2 = C(x-y)
Q5. y(2x^2 - xy +1)dx + (x-y)dy = 0
Expanding:
(2x^2y - xy^2 + y)dx + (x-y)dy = 0
Check exactness and solve by integrating factor method.
Final result:
x^2y - (xy^2)/2 + y = C
Q7. y(2x^2y + e^x)dx = (e^x + y^3)dy
Expand and rearrange:
(2x^2y^2 + y e^x)dx - (e^x + y^3)dy = 0
Check exactness and integrate:
x^2y^2 - e^x y - y^4/4 = C
Q8. ydx - xdy + 3x^2y^2 e^(x^3)dx = 0
Note that:
ydx - xdy = x^2 d(y/x)
Rewrite equation:
x^2 d(y/x) + 3x^2 y^2 e^(x^3)dx = 0
Divide by x^2:
d(y/x) + 3y^2 e^(x^3)dx = 0
Integrating:
y/x + e^(x^3) = C
Q9. Family: y^2 = 4ax
Differentiate:
2y dy/dx = 4a
From original equation:
a = y^2 / 4x
Substitute:
2y dy/dx = y^2/x
dy/dx = y / 2x
Orthogonal slope = -2x/y
y dy = -2x dx
Integrating:
x^2 + y^2 = C
Q10. Family: y = ax^2
Differentiate:
dy/dx = 2ax
From original:
a = y/x^2
