Solution of the differential equation

dydx=1+x2+y2+x2y2\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{1 + x^2 + y^2 + x^2y^2} is : (Here CC is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

Correct Option: 3

Given:

dydx=1+x2+y2+x2y2\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{1+x^2+y^2+x^2y^2}


The expression under the square root can be factored:

1+x2+y2+x2y2=(1+x2)+y2(1+x2)1+x^2+y^2+x^2y^2 = (1+x^2) + y^2(1+x^2)

=(1+x2)(1+y2)= (1+x^2)(1+y^2)

The equation becomes:

dydx=(1+x2)(1+y2)\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{(1+x^2)(1+y^2)}

dydx=1+x21+y2\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{1+x^2} \cdot \sqrt{1+y^2}


Separating variables:

dy1+y2=1+x2dx\frac{dy}{\sqrt{1+y^2}} = \sqrt{1+x^2} \, dx


Integrating both sides:

dy1+y2=1+x2dx\int \frac{dy}{\sqrt{1+y^2}} = \int \sqrt{1+x^2} \, dx

logy+1+y2=x21+x2+12logx+1+x2+C\log|y + \sqrt{1+y^2}| = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + \frac{1}{2}\log|x + \sqrt{1+x^2}| + C


Rearranging:

logy+1+y212logx+1+x2=x21+x2+C\log|y + \sqrt{1+y^2}| - \frac{1}{2}\log|x + \sqrt{1+x^2}| = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + C

Using logarithm properties logalogb=logab\log a - \log b = \log\frac{a}{b} and 12loga=loga\frac{1}{2}\log a = \log\sqrt{a}:

logy+1+y2x+1+x2=x21+x2+C\log\left|\frac{y + \sqrt{1+y^2}}{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1+x^2}}}\right| = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + C

Therefore:

logy+1+y2x+1+x2=x21+x2+C\log\left|\frac{y+\sqrt{1+y^2}}{\sqrt{x+\sqrt{1+x^2}}}\right| = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + C
