JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 9. differential equations

Consider the differential equation \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{{y^3}}}{{2(x{y^2} - {x^2})}}\) Statement \(-1:\) The substitution \(z = y^2\) transforms the above equation into a first order homogenous differential equation. Statement \(-2:\) The solution of this differential equation is \({y^2}{e^{ - {y^2}/x}} = C\).

  1. A Both statements are false.
  2. B Statement \(-1\) is true and statement \(-2\) is false.
  3. C Statement \(-1\) is false and statement \(-2\) is true.
  4. D Both statements are true.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both statements are true.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given differential equation is \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y^{3}}{2\left(x y^{2}-x^{2}\right)}\) By substituting \(z=y^{2},\) we get diff. eqn. as \(\frac{d z}{d x}=\frac{2 z^{2}}{2\left(x z-x^{2}\right)}=\frac{z^{2}}{x z-x^{2}}\) Now,…
