Solve the homogeneous DE $x\,dy/dx = x\,\tan(y/x) + y$:
A$\sin(y/x) = cx$
B$\cos(y/x) = cx$
C$\tan(y/x) = cx$
D$y/x = cx$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $\sin(y/x) = cx$
Substitute $y = vx$ so $dy/dx = v + x\,dv/dx$. Original: $x(v + x\,dv/dx) = x\tan v + vx$ ⇒ $x\,dv/dx = \tan v$ ⇒ $\cot v\,dv = dx/x$. Integrating: $\log\sin v = \log x + \log c$ ⇒ $\sin v = cx$ ⇒ $\sin(y/x) = cx$.
