Let y=y(x) be the solution of dy/dx+ytan x=sin 2x on [0,(π)/(2)) with y(0)=1.

One or more options correct

Let y=y(x)y=y(x) be the solution of dydx+ytan⁡x=sin⁡2x\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y\tan x=\sin 2x on [0,π2)\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) with y(0)=1y(0)=1. Which of the following is (are) correct?

Show answer and solution

Answer: A, B, C

The integrating factor is e∫tan⁡x dx=sec⁡xe^{\int\tan x\,dx}=\sec x, so ddx(ysec⁡x)=sin⁡2xsec⁡x=2sin⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(y\sec x)=\sin2x\sec x=2\sin x. Hence ysec⁡x=−2cos⁡x+Cy\sec x=-2\cos x+C, and y(0)=1y(0)=1 gives C=3C=3, so y=3cos⁡x−2cos⁡2xy=3\cos x-2\cos^{2}x. At x=π3x=\frac\pi3: 32−12=1\frac32-\frac12=1 (A true). Put u=cos⁡x∈(0,1]u=\cos x\in(0,1]; y=3u−2u2y=3u-2u^{2} is maximal at u=34u=\frac34 with value 94−98=98\frac94-\frac98=\frac98 (B true), and u=34u=\frac34 lies in the range. Integrating, ∫0π/2(3cos⁡x−2cos⁡2x)dx=3−2⋅π4=3−π2\int_0^{\pi/2}(3\cos x-2\cos^{2}x)dx=3-2\cdot\frac\pi4=3-\frac\pi2 (C true). At x=π4x=\frac\pi4, y=32−1=32−22≈1.12≠1y=\frac{3}{\sqrt2}-1=\frac{3\sqrt2-2}{2}\approx1.12\neq1 (D false). Answer: A, B, C. The domain restriction matters because tan⁡x\tan x is undefined at π2\frac{\pi}{2}, but the solution extends continuously there with y→0y\to0. The substitution u=cos⁡xu=\cos x turns the maximisation into a simple quadratic, which is why no differentiation of the trigonometric form is needed. Option D is the typical error of evaluating cos⁡π4\cos\frac{\pi}{4} as 12\frac12 or using a wrong constant of integration.
