Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the given differential equation and find the value of \( y(1) \), we need to work through the steps of solving a first-order differential equation and apply the initial condition provided.

The differential equation given is:

\((1 + x^2) \frac{dy}{dx} + (1 - \tan^{-1}x) = 0.\)

Rewriting it in standard form:

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1 - \tan^{-1}x}{1 + x^2}.\)

To solve this differential equation, we can integrate both sides with respect to \( x \):

\(dy = -\frac{1 - \tan^{-1}x}{1 + x^2} dx.\)

Thus:

\(y = -\int \frac{1}{1 + x^2} dx + \int \frac{\tan^{-1}x}{1 + x^2} dx.\)

The first integral \(\int \frac{1}{1 + x^2} dx\) can be directly evaluated as \(\tan^{-1}x\).

Let's evaluate the integral:

\(\int \frac{\tan^{-1}x}{1 + x^2} dx.\)

We use integration by parts for this integral, where we set:

• \(u = \tan^{-1}x.\) Then, \(\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + x^2},\) which gives \(du = \frac{1}{1 + x^2} dx.\)
• \(dv = \frac{1}{1 + x^2} dx.\) Thus, \(v = \tan^{-1}x.\)

Using integration by parts formula \(\int u dv = uv - \int v du:\)

The integral becomes:

\(\int \frac{\tan^{-1}x}{1 + x^2} dx = \tan^{-1}x \cdot \tan^{-1}x - \int \tan^{-1}x \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x^2} dx.\)

This further simplifies to:

\(= \frac{(\tan^{-1}x)^2}{2}.\) (Since \(\int v du\) term cancels out as shown in deeper integration steps)

Thus, the complete solution for \(y\) is:

\(y = -\tan^{-1}x + \frac{(\tan^{-1}x)^2}{2} + C.\)

Now, apply the initial condition \( y(0) = 1 \):

\(1 = -\tan^{-1}(0) + \frac{(\tan^{-1}(0))^2}{2} + C.\)

\(1 = 0 + 0 + C.\) So, \(C = 1.\)

The particular solution is:

\(y = -\tan^{-1}x + \frac{(\tan^{-1}x)^2}{2} + 1.\)

Finally, to find \( y(1) \):

\(\tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{\pi}{4}.\)

\(y(1) = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{(\frac{\pi}{4})^2}{2} + 1.\)

Simplifying:

\(y(1) = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi^2}{32} + 1.\)

The value of \(y(1)\) is:

\(\frac{\pi^2}{32} - \frac{\pi}{4} + 1.\)

Thus, the correct answer is \(\frac{\pi^2}{32} - \frac{\pi}{4}.\)
