Question:

Solve $\cos(x+y)dy=dx$

Show Hint

Use substitution $u=x+y$ for combined-angle differential equations.

  • $y=\tan\frac{x+y}{2}+c$
  • $y=x\sec(y/x)+c$
  • $y=-\cos^{-1}(y/x)+c$
  • $y=\tan(x+y)+c$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let \(u=x+y\) \[ \frac{du}{dx}=1+\frac{dy}{dx} \] \[ \frac{dy}{dx}=\sec u \] \[ \frac{du}{dx}=1+\sec u \] \[ \frac{du}{1+\sec u}=dx \] Integrating: \[ y=\tan\frac{x+y}{2}+c \]
