The equation of the curve passing through the point `(1,pi/4)` and having a slope of tangent at any point (x,y) as `y/x - cos^2(y/x)` is

Answer» Here, slope is given as `y/x-cos^2(y/x)`
`:. dy/dx = y/x-cos^2(y/x)->(1)`
Let, `y/x = v => y = vx => dy/dx = v+x(dv)/dx`
so, (1) becomes,
`=>v+x(dv)/dx = v- cos^2v`
`=>(dv)/cos^2v = -dx/x`
Integrating both sides,
`int (dv)/cos^2v = - int dx/x`
`=>int sec^2v (dv) = - int dx/x`
`=>tanv = -ln x+c`
`=>tan(y/x) = -ln x+c`
As, the curve is passing through `(1,pi/4)`, it will satisfy the above equation.
`:. tan (pi/4) = -ln (1) +c`
`=> c = 1`
So, the rfequired equation becomes,
`tan(y/x) = -ln x+1`
`=> tan(y/x) - 1= -ln x`
`=> x = e^(1-tan(y/x))`, which is the required equation.
