Animated Solution for Mathematics - Differential Equations: Let y=y(x) be the solution curve of the differential equation sin(2x2)loge(tanx2)dy+(4xy−42xsin(x2−4π))dx=0,0<x<2π, which passes through the point (6π,1). Then ∣y(3π)∣ is equal to
Your eyes are drawn to the x2 terms. They are everywhere. This is not a coincidence; it is a signal.
In the world of calculus, when you see a repeating argument like x2, you must immediately think of substitution. Let us set t=x2.
Differentiating this gives us 2xdx=dt. Suddenly, the x terms that were cluttering our equation are absorbed into the differential dt.
Our interval 0<x<2π transforms into 0<t<2π. The landscape is now familiar and manageable.
The Transformation
Entering the Linear Realm
With our substitution in place, the equation sheds its skin. It transforms into:
sin(2t)ln(tant)dy+(2y−22sin(t−4π))dt=0
We are now looking at a structure that screams for the standard linear form:
dtdy+P(t)y=Q(t)
By dividing through, we isolate dtdy and identify our P(t) as:
P(t)=sin(2t)ln(tant)2
This looks intimidating, but trust the process. The Integrating Factor, I.F.=e∫P(t)dt, is the key that unlocks the door.
The Magic of the Integrating Factor
This is the moment where the problem rewards your patience. To integrate P(t), we use the substitution u=ln(tant).
The derivative du is tant1⋅sec2tdt, which simplifies perfectly to sin2t2dt. The integral becomes:
∫udu=ln∣u∣=ln∣ln(tant)∣
When we exponentiate this to find the I.F., we get eln∣ln(tant)∣, which is simply ln(tant). The complexity vanishes, leaving us with a clean, elegant factor.
The Final Integration and Conclusion
Now, we multiply the entire equation by our I.F. and integrate. The term Q(t) contains a ln(tant) in the denominator, which cancels out our I.F. entirely!
We are left with the integral of:
∫sin2t22sin(t−4π)dt
Expanding the numerator using the compound angle formula sin(A−B)=sinAcosB−cosAsinB reveals the beautiful structure of sect−csct.
Integrating this is a standard result: ln∣sect+tant∣−ln∣csct−cott∣.
After applying our initial condition to find the constant C and evaluating at t=3π, we arrive at y=−1. The absolute value is 1.
You see? The terror was just an illusion. You have mastered the beast.
