The solution of the differential equation x d y d x = y is
Options
- Ay x=c
- Bx y=c
- C(x y)=c
- D(y x)=c
Correct answer
B. x y=c
Step-by-step solution
The given differential equation is x dy dx = y . Separating the variables, we get dy y = dx x . This simplifies to y , dy = dx x . Integrating both sides, we have y , dy = dx x . The integral of y is | y| or - | y| . Thus, - | y| = |x| + C . Rearranging the terms, |x| + | y| = -C . Using the property of logarithms, |x y| = C' , where C' = -C . Taking the exponential of both sides, x y = e^ C' = c . Answer: x y=c
