View full question & answer→$r \frac{d r}{d \theta}+\cos \theta=5$
$r \frac{d r}{d \theta}=5-\cos \theta$
$r \cdot d r=(5-\cos \theta) \cdot d \theta$
Integrating both sides, we get,
$\int r \cdot d r=\int(5-\cos \theta) \cdot d \theta$
$\frac{r^2}{2}=5 \theta-\sin \theta+c\ldots\ldots (1)$
Put, $\theta=0$ and $r=\sqrt{2}$, we get
$\frac{2^2}{2}=0-\sin 0+c$
$\therefore c=1$
Put $c=1$ in equation $(1),$ we get
$\therefore \frac{r^2}{2}=5 \theta-\sin \theta+1$ is the required particular solution.
