Given \(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+\cot x \frac{d y}{d x}+4 y \operatorname{cosec}^2 x=0\). Changing the independent variable \(x\) to \(z\) by the substitution \(z=\log \tan \frac{x}{2}\), the equation is changed to

  1. A \(\frac{d^2 y}{d z^2}+\frac{3}{y}=0\)
  2. B \(2 \frac{d^2 y}{d z^2}+e^y=0\)
  3. C \(\frac{d^2 y}{d z^2}-4 y=0\)
  4. D \(\frac{d^2 y}{d z^2}+4 y=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{d^2 y}{d z^2}+4 y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(\frac{d z}{d x}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \sec ^2(x / 2)}{\tan (x / 2)}=\frac{1}{\sin x}=\operatorname{cosec} x\)…
