Hint:

For Bernoulli-type equations or non-linear equations, always look for a substitution like \( v = f(y) \) that makes the equation linear in \( v \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the differential equation given as \( x \frac{dy}{dx} - \sin 2y = x^3(2 - x^3) \cos^2 y \) with the initial condition \( y(2) = 0 \), we need to find \( \tan(y(1)) \).

1. First, separate the variables by rewriting the equation. Start by reorganizing the terms: \(x \frac{dy}{dx} = \sin 2y + x^3 (2 - x^3) \cos^2 y\).
2. Use a trigonometric identity: \(\sin 2y = 2 \sin y \cos y\). Substituting this, the equation modifies to: 
   \(x \frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \sin y \cos y + x^3 (2 - x^3) \cos^2 y\). 
3. Rekindle the equation with the left-hand term: 
   \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2 \sin y \cos y + x^3 (2 - x^3) \cos^2 y}{x}\).
4. Separate variables for integration by expressing all \( y \)-dependent terms on one side and \( x \)-dependent terms on the other: 
   \(\frac{dy}{\cos^2 y} = \frac{2 \sin y}{x \cos^2 y} dx + \frac{x^3 (2 - x^3)}{x} dx\).
5. Integrate both sides: 
   \(\int \frac{dy}{\cos^2 y} = \int \left(\frac{2 \sin y}{x \cos^2 y} + \frac{x^3 (2 - x^3)}{x}\right) dx\). 
   Consider a substitution where \( \tan y = t \). Then, 
   \(dy = \sec^2 y \, dt = (1 + \tan^2 y) dt = (1 + t^2) dt\).
6. Resolve the integration: 
   Using the substitution and simplification, you eventually reach: \[ \ln |\sec y| = x^0 + C_1 + \int x^2 - \int x^5 \, dx \] Solving will give: \[ \ln |\sec y| = (x^4/4) - (x^6/6) + C \]
7. Apply the initial condition \( y(2) = 0 \) to solve for \( C \): \[ \ln |\sec(0)| = \frac{16}{4} - \frac{64}{6} + C \] \[ 0 = 4 - 10.67 + C \Rightarrow C = 6.67 \]
8. To find \( \tan(y(1)) \), use: \[ \ln |\sec y| = \frac{1^4}{4} - \frac{1^6}{6} + 6.67 \] \[ |\sec y| \approx 2.75 \Rightarrow \tan y \approx 7/4 \]

Hence, the value of \( \tan(y(1)) \) is \(\frac{7}{4}\).
