Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(e^{\tan ^{-1}\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}=c \sqrt{x^2+y^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is \((x-y) dy = (x+y) dx\), which can be written as \(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{x+y}{x-y}\). This is a homogeneous differential equation. Let \(y = vx\), then \(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = v + x \dfrac{dv}{dx}\). Substituting these into the equation, we get…
