Let y=y(x) be the solution of the differential equation (x2-x x2-1 )dy + (y (x- x2-1 )-x )dx=0, x 1. If y(1)=1, then the greatest integer less than y ( 5 ) is .
Answer
3
Solution
Dividing by x- x2-1 (>0) : x dy+y dx- xx- x2-1dx=0
1x- x2-1=x+ x2-1 (rationalise; x2- (x2-1 )=1)
d(xy)= (x2+x x2-1 )dx
Integrating ( x x2-1 dx= 13 (x2-1 )3/2) :
xy= x33+ 13 (x2-1 )3/2+C
y(1)=1 1= 13+0+C C= 23
At x= 5 : 5 y= 5 53+ 83+ 23= 5 5+103
y ( 5 )= 5+2 53 5+4.4723 3.16
Greatest integer less than y ( 5 )=3
