Find the particular solution: $\cos\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)=a,\ a\in[1,2],\ y(0)=2$.

Question

Accepted Answer

$\cos\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)=a$ with $a\in[1,2]$ . Since $\cos(\cdot)$ only ever takes values in $[-1,1]$ , the only value of $a$ in $[1,2]$ for which this equation can have any real solution at all is $a=1$ . Then $\cos\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)=1\Rightarrow\dfrac{dy}{dx}=0$ (the simplest branc …

›Reveal solutionSolution

Put $u=x+y$ ; the equation becomes $\dfrac{du}{dx}=\csc u$ , separable.

$u=x+y \Rightarrow \dfrac{du}{dx}=1+\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\csc u$

$\sin u\,du=dx$
