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

Let \(y = y(x)\) be the solution curve of the differential equation \((1 + \sin x)\dfrac{dy}{dx} + (y+1)\cos x = 0\), \(y(0) = 0\). If the curve \(y = y(x)\) passes through the point \(\left(\alpha, \dfrac{-1}{2}\right)\), then a value of \(\alpha\) is :

  1. A \(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation can be written as: \((1 + \sin x)dy + (y+1)\cos x dx = 0\) \(d((y+1)(1 + \sin x)) = 0\) Integrating both sides: \((y+1)(1 + \sin x) = C\) Given \(y(0) = 0\), substituting \(x = 0\) and \(y = 0\): \((0+1)(1 + \sin 0) = C \Rightarrow C = 1\) The…
