Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: The differential equation of the family of curves \( r^2=a^2\cos2\theta \) (a arbitrary) is:
(a) \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}=-r\tan2\theta \)
(b) \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}=r\cot2\theta \)
(c) \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}\cos2\theta-r\sin2\theta=0 \)
(d) \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}=0 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}=-r\tan2\theta \)

Explanation:
1. Differentiate: \( 2r\frac{dr}{d\theta}=-2a^2\sin2\theta \).
2. Substitute \( a^2=\frac{r^2}{\cos2\theta} \): \( \frac{dr}{d\theta}=-r\tan2\theta \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write the family with its parameters, differentiate repeatedly and eliminate the parameters.
2. Check the final answer by differentiating the given solution once more.

Question 2: The differential equation of the family of circles of fixed radius 5 units and centre on the line \( y=2 \) is:

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( (y-2)^2(y')^2=25-(y-2)^2 \)

Explanation:
1. The circles are \( (x-a)^2+(y-2)^2=25 \).
2. Differentiating, \( (x-a)+(y-2)y'=0 \), so \( (x-a)^2=(y-2)^2y'^2 \).
3. Substituting back: \( (y-2)^2y'^2+(y-2)^2=25 \).
4. Rearranged: \( (y-2)^2y'^2=25-(y-2)^2 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate as many times as there are arbitrary constants, then eliminate them.
2. The order of the resulting equation equals the number of independent constants.

Explanation:
1. \( y^{-1/3}dy=x^{-1/3}dx \).

Answer: (c) \( \sinh^{-1}x+\sinh^{-1}y=c \)

Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dy}{\sqrt{1+y^2}}+\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}=0 \).
2. \( \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}=\sinh^{-1}x \).
3. So \( \sinh^{-1}x+\sinh^{-1}y=c \).

Teacher's Note:

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( y=\log|e^x+e^{-x}|+c \)

Explanation:
1. \( dy=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}dx \).
2. The numerator is the derivative of the denominator.
3. \( y=\log(e^x+e^{-x})+c \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Look for a factorisation of the right side as f(x) times g(y).
2. Standard integrals such as dx/(1+x²) appear again and again.

(d) \( y=\frac{c}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( y=c(1+x^2) \)

Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dy}{y}=\frac{2x}{1+x^2}dx \).
2. \( \log y=\log(1+x^2)+\log c \).
3. So \( y=c(1+x^2) \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Separate the variables so that each side has only one variable, then integrate both sides.
2. Add the constant of integration once and simplify it into a convenient form.

(d) \( \cot y=c(1+x^2) \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \sec y=c(1+x^2) \)

Explanation:
1. \( \tan y\,dy=\frac{2x}{1+x^2}dx \).
2. \( -\log\cos y=\log(1+x^2)+\log c \).
3. \( \sec y=c(1+x^2) \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Separate the variables so that each side has only one variable, then integrate both sides.
2. Add the constant of integration once and simplify it into a convenient form.

Question 9: The solution of \( \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1+y^2}{1+x^2} \) is:
(a) \( y-x=c(1+xy) \)
(b) \( y+x=c(1+xy) \)
(c) \( y=(1+2x)c \)
(d) \( xy=x^2+x+c \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( y-x=c(1+xy) \)

Explanation:
1. \( \tan^{-1}y=\tan^{-1}x+k \).
2. Taking tan of both sides, \( \frac{y-x}{1+xy}=c \).
3. So \( y-x=c(1+xy) \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Look for a factorisation of the right side as f(x) times g(y).
2. Standard integrals such as dx/(1+x²) appear again and again.

(a) \( y=3x \)
(b) \( y=3x^2 \)
(c) \( x^2=3y \)
(d) \( x=3y \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( y=3x \)

Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dy}{y}=\frac{dx}{x} \), so \( y=cx \).
2. At (1, 3): c = 3.
3. So \( y=3x \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Separate the variables so that each side has only one variable, then integrate both sides.
2. Add the constant of integration once and simplify it into a convenient form.

Question 11: The solution of \( \frac{dy}{dx}=e^{x-y}+e^{2\log x-y} \) is:
(a) \( e^y=e^x+\frac{x^2}{2}+c \)

(d) \( y=\frac{e^{3x+y}}{3} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( e^y=e^x+\frac{x^3}{3}+c \)

Explanation:
1. Since \( e^{2\log x}=x^2 \), \( \frac{dy}{dx}=e^{-y}(e^x+x^2) \).
2. \( e^y\,dy=(e^x+x^2)dx \).
3. \( e^y=e^x+\frac{x^3}{3}+c \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Look for a factorisation of the right side as f(x) times g(y).
2. Standard integrals such as dx/(1+x²) appear again and again.

(c) \( \frac{dv}{dy}+x(v+e^v)=0 \)
(d) \( y\frac{dv}{dy}+x(v+e^v)=0 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( y\frac{dv}{dy}+\frac{v+e^v}{1+e^v}=0 \)

Explanation:
1. Put \( x=vy,\ dx=v\,dy+y\,dv \): \( (1+e^v)(v\,dy+y\,dv)+e^v(1-v)dy=0 \).
2. \( (v+e^v)dy+y(1+e^v)dv=0 \).
3. So \( y\frac{dv}{dy}+\frac{v+e^v}{1+e^v}=0 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. A homogeneous equation has every term of the same degree in x and y.
2. The substitution y = vx (or x = vy) always reduces it to a separable form.

(a) \( \tan^{-1}\left(\frac yx\right)=\log(cx) \)

(c) \( \cos^{-1}\left(\frac yx\right)=\log(cy) \)
(d) \( \sec^{-1}\left(\frac yx\right)=\log(cy) \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \sin^{-1}\left(\frac yx\right)=\log(cx) \)

Explanation:
1. Put \( y=vx \): \( v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=\sqrt{1-v^2}+v \).
2. \( \frac{dv}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}=\frac{dx}{x} \).
3. \( \sin^{-1}v=\log x+\log c \), so \( \sin^{-1}\frac yx=\log(cx) \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Put y = vx so that dy/dx = v + x dv/dx and the variables separate.
2. Return to y/x after integrating.

Question 17: The solution of \( \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x-y+2}{x+y-1} \) is:
(a) \( x^2+y^2+xy-4y-2x=c \)

(c) \( x^2-y^2+xy+2x-4y=c \)
(d) \( x^2+y^2-xy+4x-2y=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( x^2-y^2-2xy+4x+2y=c \)

Explanation:
1. \( (x-y+2)dx-(x+y-1)dy=0 \) has \( M_y=-1=N_x \), so it is exact.
2. \( F=\frac{x^2}{2}-xy+2x+g(y) \), \( F_y=-x+g'=-(x+y-1) \) gives \( g=-\frac{y^2}{2}+y \).
3. So \( x^2-y^2-2xy+4x+2y=c \).

Teacher's Note:
1. For (ax+by+c)/(a'x+b'y+c') find the intersection of the lines first.
2. If the lines are parallel use v = ax + by.

(b) \( (x-2y)^2+x=c \)
(c) \( (x-2y)+2x^2=c \)
(d) \( (x-2y)+x^2=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( (x-2y)^2+2x=c \)

Explanation:
1. Put \( u=x-2y \): \( \frac{du}{dx}=1-2\cdot\frac{u+1}{2u}=-\frac1u \).
2. \( u\,du=-dx \).
3. \( \frac{u^2}{2}=-x+k \), so \( (x-2y)^2+2x=c \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Shift the origin to the point of intersection of the two lines, or use exactness if it applies.
2. After shifting, the equation becomes homogeneous.

Question 19: The integrating factor of \( (1+x^3)\frac{dy}{dx}+3x^2y=\sin^2x \) is:
(a) \( 1+x^3 \)

(d) \( \log\cos x \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \cot x \)

Explanation:
