How to solve dy/dx = x2 + 2xy + y2 while y(0) = 0?

Answer»

\(\frac{dy}{dx}=x^2+2xy+y^2 = (x + y)^2\) 

Let x + y = t

Then 1 + \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dt}{dx}\)

\(\therefore\frac{dt}{dx}=1+t^2\) 

(\(\because\frac{dt}{dx}=(x+y)^2=t^2\)

⇒ \(\frac{dt}{1+t^2}=dx\) 

⇒ \(\int\frac{dt}{1+t^2}=\int dx\)

⇒ tan-1 t = x + c

⇒ tan-1(x + y) = x + c-----(1)

(\(\because t=x+c\))

\(\because\) y(0) = 0

\(\therefore \) tan-1(0 + 0) = 0

⇒ C = tan-1(x + y) = x is (From (1))

⇒ x + y = tan x

⇒ y = tan x - x

which is solution of given DE.
