Question

Solve the following differential equation : \[\left( \sqrt{1 + x^2 + y^2 + x^2 y^2} \right) dx + xy \ dy = 0\].

Answer 1

\[\left( \sqrt{1 + x^2 + y^2 + x^2 y^2} \right) dx + xy \ dy = 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2 + y^2 + x^2 y^2}}{xy}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{\sqrt{\left( 1 + x^2 \right) + y^2 \left( 1 + x^2 \right)}}{xy}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{\sqrt{\left( 1 + x^2 \right)\left( 1 + y^2 \right)}}{xy}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{y}{\sqrt{1 + y^2}}dy = - \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}{x}dx\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( 1 + y^2 \right)^{- \frac{1}{2}} ydy = - \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}{x}dx\]

Integrating both sides, we get

\[\frac{1}{2}\int \left( 1 + y^2 \right)^{- \frac{1}{2}} 2ydy = - \int\frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}{x}dx\]

\[ \Rightarrow \sqrt{1 + y^2} = - \int\frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}{x}dx . . . . . \left( 1 \right) \left[ \int \left[ f\left( x \right) \right]^n f'\left( x \right)dx = \frac{\left[ f\left( x \right) \right]^{n + 1}}{n + 1} + C \right]\]

\[\text { Let} I_1 = \int\frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}{x}dx\]

Put x = tanθ

\[\Rightarrow\] dx = sec²θdθ

\[\therefore I_1 = \int\frac{\sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \theta}}{\tan\theta} \sec^2 \theta d\theta\]

\[ = \int\frac{\sqrt{\sec^2 \theta}}{\tan\theta} \sec^2 \theta d\theta\]

\[ = \int\frac{\sec^3 \theta}{\tan\theta}d\theta\]

\[ = \int\frac{1}{\sin\theta \cos^2 \theta}d\theta\]

\[ = \int\frac{\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta}{\sin\theta \cos^2 \theta}d\theta\]

\[ = \int\tan\theta\sec\theta d\theta + \int\cos ec\theta d\theta\]

\[ = \sec\theta + \log\left( \cos ec\theta - \cot\theta \right)\]

\[ = \sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \theta} + \log\left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta}} - \frac{1}{\tan\theta} \right)\]

\[\therefore I_1 = \sqrt{1 + x^2} + \log\left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}} - \frac{1}{x} \right) + C . . . . . \left( 2 \right)\]

From (1) and (2), we have

\[\sqrt{1 + y^2} = \sqrt{1 + x^2} + \log\left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}} - \frac{1}{x} \right) + C\]

\[ \Rightarrow \sqrt{1 + y^2} = \sqrt{1 + x^2} + \log\left( \frac{\sqrt{1 + x^2} - 1}{x} \right) + C\]

This is the solution of the given differential equation.
