Math Problem Statement

y' * sin(x) - (2y + 1) * cos(x) = 0 with initial condition y(π/3) = 1. Choose the correct solution from the options provided.

Solution

We are given the following differential equation to solve:

ysinx(2y+1)cosx=0y' \cdot \sin x - (2y + 1) \cos x = 0 with the initial condition: y(π3)=1y\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 1

We need to find the general solution of the equation and choose the correct solution from the given options.

Step 1: Rearrange the differential equation

First, we can rewrite the given equation as follows:

ysinx=(2y+1)cosxy' \cdot \sin x = (2y + 1) \cos x

Next, divide both sides by sinx\sin x (assuming sinx0\sin x \neq 0):

y=(2y+1)cosxsinx=(2y+1)cotxy' = (2y + 1) \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = (2y + 1) \cot x

This is a first-order linear differential equation.

Step 2: Solve the differential equation using the integrating factor

The equation is of the form:

y(2cotx)y=cotxy' - (2 \cot x)y = \cot x

This is a linear first-order differential equation. To solve it, we will first find an integrating factor. The integrating factor μ(x)\mu(x) is given by:

μ(x)=e2cotxdx=e2lnsinx=1sin2x\mu(x) = e^{\int -2 \cot x \, dx} = e^{-2 \ln |\sin x|} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 x}

Step 3: Multiply the equation by the integrating factor

Multiplying the entire differential equation by 1sin2x\frac{1}{\sin^2 x}:

1sin2xy2sin2xcotxy=1sin2xcotx\frac{1}{\sin^2 x} y' - \frac{2}{\sin^2 x} \cot x \, y = \frac{1}{\sin^2 x} \cot x

The left-hand side simplifies to:

ddx(ysin2x)=cotxsin2x\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{y}{\sin^2 x} \right) = \frac{\cot x}{\sin^2 x}

Step 4: Integrate both sides

Now, integrate both sides with respect to xx:

ysin2x=cotxsin2xdx\frac{y}{\sin^2 x} = \int \frac{\cot x}{\sin^2 x} \, dx

We can express cotxsin2x\frac{\cot x}{\sin^2 x} as cosxsin3x\frac{\cos x}{\sin^3 x}. This is a standard integral, and its result is:

cosxsin3xdx=12sin2x+C\int \frac{\cos x}{\sin^3 x} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2 \sin^2 x} + C

Thus, we have:

ysin2x=12sin2x+C\frac{y}{\sin^2 x} = -\frac{1}{2 \sin^2 x} + C

Step 5: Solve for yy

Multiply both sides by sin2x\sin^2 x:

y=12+Csin2xy = -\frac{1}{2} + C \sin^2 x

Step 6: Apply the initial condition

We are given that y(π3)=1y\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 1. Substituting x=π3x = \frac{\pi}{3} into the equation:

1=12+Csin2(π3)1 = -\frac{1}{2} + C \sin^2\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)

Since sin(π3)=32\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, we get:

1=12+C(32)2=12+C341 = -\frac{1}{2} + C \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = -\frac{1}{2} + C \cdot \frac{3}{4}

Solving for CC:

1+12=C341 + \frac{1}{2} = C \cdot \frac{3}{4} 32=C34\frac{3}{2} = C \cdot \frac{3}{4} C=2C = 2

Final Solution:

Substitute C=2C = 2 into the general solution:

y=12+2sin2xy = -\frac{1}{2} + 2 \sin^2 x Simplify the expression:

y=2sin2x12y = 2 \sin^2 x - \frac{1}{2}

Multiply everything by 2 to make the equation easier to compare with the options:

2y+1=4sin2x2y + 1 = 4 \sin^2 x

Taking the square root of both sides:

2y+1=2sinx\sqrt{2y + 1} = 2 \sin x

Thus, the correct answer is:

y+1=2sinx\boxed{\sqrt{y + 1} = 2 \sin x}
