Solution

Portion of the x-axis cut off between the origin and tangent at a point \[= x - y \hspace{0.167em} \hspace{0.167em} \frac{dx}{dy} = OT\]
It is given, OT = 2x
\[\begin{array}{l}\therefore \hspace{0.167em} \hspace{0.167em} x - y \hspace{0.167em} \hspace{0.167em} \frac{dx}{dy} = 2x \\ - x = y\frac{dx}{dy} \\ - \int\frac{dx}{x} = \int\frac{dy}{y} \\ \therefore \hspace{0.167em} \hspace{0.167em} xy = k\end{array}\]
Since the curve passes through the point (1, 2)
⇒ at x = 1 ⇒ y = 2
∴ k = 2
∴ xy = 2

Verify y = log x + c is the solution of differential equation `x ("d"^2y)/("d"x^2) + ("d"y)/("d"x)` = 0
Solve the following differential equation `("d"y)/("d"x)` = cos(x + y)
Solution: `("d"y)/("d"x)` = cos(x + y) ......(1)
Put `square`
∴ `1 + ("d"y)/("d"x) = "dv"/("d"x)`
∴ `("d"y)/("d"x) = "dv"/("d"x) - 1`
∴ (1) becomes `"dv"/("d"x) - 1` = cos v
∴ `"dv"/("d"x)` = 1 + cos v
∴ `square` dv = dx
Integrating, we get
`int 1/(1 + cos "v") "d"v = int "d"x`
∴ `int 1/(2cos^2 ("v"/2)) "dv" = int "d"x`
∴ `1/2 int square "dv" = int "d"x`
∴ `1/2* (tan("v"/2))/(1/2)` = x + c
∴ `square` = x + c
