Given` y'+ytanx=secx+cosx`
when the first order linear ordinary Differentian equation has the form of
`y'+p(x)y=q(x)`
then the general solution is ,
`y(x)=((int e^(int p(x) dx) *q(x)) dx +c)/ e^(int p(x) dx)`
so,
`y'+ytanx=secx+cosx--------(1)`
`y'+p(x)y=q(x)---------(2)`
on comparing both we get,
`p(x) = tanx and q(x)=secx +cosx`
so on solving with the above general solution we get:
y(x)=`((int e^(int p(x) dx) *q(x)) dx +c)/e^(int p(x) dx)`
=`((int e^(int (tanx) dx) *(secx+cosx)) dx +c)/e^(int tanx dx)`
first we shall solve
`e^(int (tanx) dx)=e^(ln(secx))= secx `
so proceeding further, we get
`y(x) =((int e^(int (tanx) dx) *(secx+cosx)) dx +c)/e^(int tanx dx)`
=`((int secx *(secx+cosx)) dx +c)/(secx )`
=`((int (sec^2 x+cosxsecx)) dx +c)/(secx )`
= `((int (sec^2 x)dx +int 1 dx) +c)/secx`See eNotes Ad-Free
