Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}(x+y)=x+C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{d y}{d x}=(x+y)^2\)
Let \(x+y=t \Rightarrow 1+\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d t}{d x}\)
Eq. (i) can be written as
\[
\begin{gathered}
\frac{d t}{d x}-1=t^2 \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d t}{d x}=t^2+1 \Rightarrow \frac{d t}{t^2+1}=d x
\end{gathered}
\]
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \int \frac{d t}{t^2+1}=\int d x \Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} t=x+C \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan ^{-1}(x+y)=x+C\end{aligned}\)
