The particular solution of $\dfrac{dy}{dx} + y\tan x = \sec x$ given $y(0) = 1$ is:
A$y\sec x = \tan x + 1$
B$y\sec x = \sec x + 1$
C$y\sec x = \tan x - 1$
D$y = \sin x + \cos x$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $y\sec x = \tan x + 1$
Linear: $P = \tan x$, IF = $e^{\int \tan x\,dx} = e^{\log\sec x} = \sec x$. So $y\sec x = \int \sec x \cdot \sec x\,dx + c = \tan x + c$. At $x=0, y=1$: $1\cdot 1 = 0 + c$ ⇒ $c = 1$. Hence $y\sec x = \tan x + 1$.
