Question

 If a function y=f(x) satisfies the differential equation f(x)sin2xcosx+1+sin2xf(x)=0 with initial condition y(0)=0, then the value  of fπ6 is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

 The given equation is f(x)sin2xcosx+1+sin2xf(x)=0ysin2xcosx+1+sin2xdydx=0

dydx+sin2x1+sin2xy=cosx1+sin2x is in the form of dydx+Py=Q Where P=sin2x1+sin2x and Q=cosx1+sin2x

 Integrating Factor (IF)=esin2x1+sin2xdx=eln1+sin2x f(x)f(x)dx=ln|f(x)|+C=1+sin2x General solution is y(IF)=(IF)Qdxy1+sin2x=1+sin2xcosx1+sin2xdx

y1+sin2x=cosxdx=sinx+C When x=0,y=0C=0 When x=π6, then y1+14=12y54=12y=25fπ6=25

Therefore, the correct answer is (4).
