MCQ
The general solution of the differential equation, $y ' + y\phi ' (x) - \phi (x) . \phi ’(x) = 0$ where $\phi (x)$ is a known function is : where $c$ is an arbitrary constant .
  • $y = ce^{-\phi (x)} + \phi (x) - 1$
  • B
    $y = ce^{+\phi (x)} + \phi (x) - 1$
  • C
    $y = ce^{-\phi (x)} -\phi (x) + 1$
  • D
    $y = ce^{-\phi (x)} + \phi (x) + 1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$y = ce^{-\phi (x)} + \phi (x) - 1$
a
$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} \,+ \, y \phi '(x) = \phi (x).\phi '(x)$
$I.F. =  {e^{\int {\phi '(x)dx} }} = {e^{\phi (x)}}$
hence $y.e^{\phi (x)} = e^{\phi (x)}.\phi (x).\phi '(x) dx = e^t.t dt$
where $\phi (x) = t$
$= te^t - e^t + C = \phi (x).e^{\phi (x)} - e^{\phi (x)} + C$
$\therefore  y = ce^{-\phi (x)} + \phi (x) - 1$
