Solve $\sec^2 x \cdot \tan y \, dx + \sec^2 y \cdot \tan x \, dy = 0$:

A$\tan x \cdot \tan y = c$
B$\tan x + \tan y = c$
C$\sec x + \sec y = c$
D$\sin x \cdot \sin y = c$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $\tan x \cdot \tan y = c$
**Rewrite:** $(\sec^2 y/\tan y)dy + (\sec^2 x/\tan x)dx = 0$. Recognise each as a $du/u$: integrating gives $\log\tan y + \log\tan x = \log c$ ⇒ $\tan x \cdot \tan y = c$.
