Let y=y(x)y=y(x) be the solution of the differential equation x1−x2 dy+(y1−x2−xcos⁡−1x)dx=0x\sqrt{1-x^2}\,dy + \left(y\sqrt{1-x^2} - x\cos^{-1}x\right)dx = 0, x∈(0,1)x \in (0, 1), lim⁡x→1−y(x)=1\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 1^-} y(x) = 1. Then y(12)y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) equals:

Options

  1. A3−π33 - \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}
  2. B4−3π4 - \sqrt{3}\pi
  3. C4−2π34 - \dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}
  4. D3−π233 - \dfrac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}

Correct answer

A. 3−π33 - \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step solution

The given differential equation is:

x1−x2 dy+(y1−x2−xcos⁡−1x)dx=0x\sqrt{1-x^2}\,dy + \left(y\sqrt{1-x^2} - x\cos^{-1}x\right)dx = 0

Rearranging the terms, we get:

x1−x2 dy+y1−x2 dx=xcos⁡−1x dxx\sqrt{1-x^2}\,dy + y\sqrt{1-x^2}\,dx = x\cos^{-1}x\,dx

Dividing the entire equation by 1−x2\sqrt{1-x^2}:

x dy+y dx=xcos⁡−1x1−x2 dxx\,dy + y\,dx = \dfrac{x\cos^{-1}x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx

The left side is the exact differential of xyxy:

d(xy)=xcos⁡−1x1−x2 dxd(xy) = \dfrac{x\cos^{-1}x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx

Integrating both sides:

xy=∫xcos⁡−1x1−x2 dx+Cxy = \int \dfrac{x\cos^{-1}x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx + C

To evaluate the integral, use integration by parts. Let u=cos⁡−1xu = \cos^{-1}x and dv=x1−x2 dxdv = \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx.

du=−11−x2 dxdu = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx and v=−1−x2v = -\sqrt{1-x^2}

∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u\,dv = uv - \int v\,du

∫xcos⁡−1x1−x2 dx=−1−x2cos⁡−1x−∫(−1−x2)(−11−x2) dx\int \dfrac{x\cos^{-1}x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx = -\sqrt{1-x^2}\cos^{-1}x - \int \left(-\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)\,dx

=−1−x2cos⁡−1x−∫1 dx= -\sqrt{1-x^2}\cos^{-1}x - \int 1\,dx

=−1−x2cos⁡−1x−x= -\sqrt{1-x^2}\cos^{-1}x - x

Substituting this back into the equation:

xy=−1−x2cos⁡−1x−x+Cxy = -\sqrt{1-x^2}\cos^{-1}x - x + C

It is given that lim⁡x→1−y(x)=1\lim_{x\to 1^-} y(x) = 1. Substituting x=1x = 1 and y=1y = 1:

1(1)=−1−12cos⁡−1(1)−1+C1(1) = -\sqrt{1-1^2}\cos^{-1}(1) - 1 + C

1=0−1+C⇒C=21 = 0 - 1 + C \Rightarrow C = 2

The particular solution is:

xy=2−x−1−x2cos⁡−1xxy = 2 - x - \sqrt{1-x^2}\cos^{-1}x

To find y(12)y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right), substitute x=12x = \dfrac{1}{2}:

12y(12)=2−12−1−(12)2cos⁡−1(12)\dfrac{1}{2}y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = 2 - \dfrac{1}{2} - \sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2}\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

12y(12)=32−32(π3)\dfrac{1}{2}y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = \dfrac{3}{2} - \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)

12y(12)=32−π23\dfrac{1}{2}y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = \dfrac{3}{2} - \dfrac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}

Multiplying by 22:

y(12)=3−π3y\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = 3 - \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}
