In each of the Exercises 1 to 10, show that the given differential equation is homogeneous and solve each of them.

xdydx−y+xsin⁡(yx)=0x \frac{dy}{dx} - y + x \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0
Correct Answer

Step 1: Showing the equation is homogeneous

The given differential equation is:

xdydx−y+xsin⁡(yx)=0x \frac{dy}{dx} - y + x \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0

Rearranging, we get:

xdydx=y−xsin⁡(yx)x \frac{dy}{dx} = y - x \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) dydx=yx−sin⁡(yx)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} - \sin\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)

Since the right-hand side is a function of yx\frac{y}{x} only, the given differential equation is homogeneous.

Step 2: Solving the homogeneous equation

Let y=vxy = vx, where vv is a function of xx.

Then:

dydx=v+xdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}

Substituting in the equation:

v+xdvdx=v−sin⁡(v)v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = v - \sin(v) xdvdx=−sin⁡(v)x\frac{dv}{dx} = -\sin(v) dvsin⁡(v)=−dxx\frac{dv}{\sin(v)} = -\frac{dx}{x} cosec(v) dv=−dxx\text{cosec}(v) \, dv = -\frac{dx}{x}

Integrating both sides:

∫cosec(v) dv=−∫dxx\int \text{cosec}(v) \, dv = -\int \frac{dx}{x} ln⁡∣cosec(v)−cot⁡(v)∣=−ln⁡∣x∣+C\ln|\text{cosec}(v) - \cot(v)| = -\ln|x| + C ln⁡∣cosec(v)−cot⁡(v)∣+ln⁡∣x∣=C\ln|\text{cosec}(v) - \cot(v)| + \ln|x| = C ln⁡∣x(cosec(v)−cot⁡(v))∣=C\ln|x(\text{cosec}(v) - \cot(v))| = C

Substituting back v=yxv = \frac{y}{x}:

ln⁡∣x(cosec(yx)−cot⁡(yx))∣=C\ln\left|x\left(\text{cosec}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - \cot\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\right)\right| = C

∴ This is the required general solution.

Explanation

This question from Exercise 9.4 tests the concept of homogeneous differential equations. A differential equation is homogeneous when it can be expressed as dydx=f(yx)\frac{dy}{dx} = f\left(\frac{y}{x}\right). The solution involves the substitution y=vxy = vx, which transforms the equation into a separable form. After integration and back-substitution, we obtain the general solution.

Solution Steps

  1. Rearrange the equation to express dy/dx as a function of y/x

  2. Verify the equation is homogeneous

  3. Substitute y = vx and find dy/dx = v + x(dv/dx)

  4. Separate variables and integrate both sides

  5. Back-substitute v = y/x to get the final solution
