Multiple Choice Questions
(a) \( (2x+1)+(2y+1)=c \)
(b) \( x^2+xy+y^2=c \)
(c) \( x^3+3xy+y^3=c \)
(d) \( x^3+xy+y^3=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( x^3+3xy+y^3=c \)
Explanation:
1. Regroup: \( x^2dx+(y\,dx+x\,dy)+y^2dy=0 \).
2. \( \frac{x^3}{3}+xy+\frac{y^3}{3}=k \).
3. So \( x^3+3xy+y^3=c \).
Teacher's Note:
1. If the equation is exact, the solution is F(x, y) = c with F_x = M and F_y = N.

(c) \( e^{ax+by}=c \)
(d) \( (ax+by)=cxy \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( be^{ax}+ae^{-by}=k \)
Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dy}{dx}=e^{ax}e^{by} \).
2. \( e^{-by}dy=e^{ax}dx \).
3. \( -\frac{e^{-by}}{b}=\frac{e^{ax}}{a}+c \).
4. Multiply by -ab: \( be^{ax}+ae^{-by}=k \).
Teacher's Note:

2. Add the constant of integration once and simplify it into a convenient form.
(a) \( \tan(y-x)=ce^{x^2/2} \)
(b) \( \sin(y-x)=ce^{x^2/2} \)
(c) \( \sec(y-x)=ce^{x^2/2} \)
(d) \( \cos(y-x)\,e^{x^2/2}=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \sin(y-x)=ce^{x^2/2} \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( v=y-x \): \( \frac{dv}{dx}=x\tan v \).
2. \( \cot v\,dv=x\,dx \).
3. \( \log\sin v=\frac{x^2}{2}+\log c \).
4. So \( \sin(y-x)=ce^{x^2/2} \).
Teacher's Note:
1. When the right side depends on a combination like x + y, put that combination equal to v.
2. Then dy/dx = dv/dx - 1.

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( e^{3x}+3e^{-y}=4 \)
Explanation:
1. \( e^{-y}dy=e^{3x}dx \).
2. \( -e^{-y}=\frac{e^{3x}}{3}+c \).
3. At (0, 0): \( -1=\frac13+c \), so \( c=-\frac43 \).
4. \( e^{3x}+3e^{-y}=4 \).
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.

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( y\tan y-x\tan x+\log\left(\frac{\cos y}{\cos x}\right)=c \)
Explanation:
1. \( x\sec^2x\,dx=y\sec^2y\,dy \).
2. \( \int x\sec^2x\,dx=x\tan x+\log\cos x \).
3. So \( x\tan x+\log\cos x=y\tan y+\log\cos y+k \).
4. Rearranged: \( y\tan y-x\tan x+\log\frac{\cos y}{\cos x}=c \).
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) \( \log\left(\sqrt{1+x^2}-\sqrt{1+y^2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \log\left(\frac{x}{1+\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\sqrt{1+x^2}+\sqrt{1+y^2}=c \)
Explanation:
1. The root is \( \sqrt{(1+x^2)(1+y^2)} \).
2. Separate: \( \frac{y\,dy}{\sqrt{1+y^2}}=-\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}dx \).
3. \( \int\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}dx=\sqrt{1+x^2}+\log\frac{x}{1+\sqrt{1+x^2}} \).
4. So \( \sqrt{1+y^2}+\sqrt{1+x^2}+\log\frac{x}{1+\sqrt{1+x^2}}=c \).
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.
(a) \( (y+2)^2=c\,e^{(x-3)^2} \)
(b) \( \log(y+2)=x^2-3x+c \)
(c) \( y+2=2(x-3)+c \)
(d) \( (y+2)(x-3)=c \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( (y+2)^2=c\,e^{(x-3)^2} \)
Explanation:
1. Factorise: \( xy+2x-3y-6=(x-3)(y+2) \).
2. \( \frac{dy}{y+2}=(x-3)dx \).
3. \( \log(y+2)=\frac{(x-3)^2}{2}+k \).
4. So \( (y+2)^2=ce^{(x-3)^2} \).
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) \( x^2-y^2=1 \)
(b) \( 4x^2-y^2=4 \)
(c) \( x^2+y^2=1 \)
(d) \( 4x^2+y^2=4 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( x^2-y^2=1 \)
Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dx}{x}=\frac{y\,dy}{1+y^2} \).
2. \( \log x=\frac12\log(1+y^2)+\log c \), so \( x^2=c^2(1+y^2) \).
3. Through (1, 0): \( c^2=1 \).
4. \( x^2-y^2=1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Tangent and normal intercepts are expressed through y and dy/dx.

Answer: (b) \( e^{x^2}+2(y+1)e^{-y}=c \)
Explanation:
1. Separate: \( xe^{x^2}dx=ye^{-y}dy \).
2. \( \frac12e^{x^2}=-(y+1)e^{-y}+k \).
3. So \( e^{x^2}+2(y+1)e^{-y}=c \).
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) \( v\,dv+(2x+x^2)dx=0 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( x\,dv+(v^2+2v)dx=0 \)
Explanation:
1. \( x^2(v\,dx+x\,dv)+vx(x+vx)dx=0 \).
2. Divide by \( x^2 \): \( x\,dv+(v+v+v^2)dx=0 \).

2. \( \int-\frac{1}{y^2}dy=\frac1y \).
3. IF \( =e^{1/y} \).
Teacher's Note:

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \frac{x}{2+e^y}=-\frac{1}{2+e^y}+c \)
Explanation:
1. Multiply by \( e^y \): \( (x+1)e^y\frac{dy}{dx}=2+e^y \).
2. \( \frac{e^ydy}{2+e^y}=\frac{dx}{x+1} \).
3. \( \log(2+e^y)=\log(x+1)+\log k \), so \( 2+e^y=k(x+1) \).
4. This is \( \frac{x}{2+e^y}=-\frac{1}{2+e^y}+\frac1k \), option (a). With the condition, k = 3.
