Correct answer
Ce-2

Step-by-step explanation

The given differential equation can be written as
dydx+ysec2x=tanx.sec2x
Integrating factor =esec2xdx=etanx
Hence, solution of given differential equation,
y.etanx=tanx.sec2x.etanxdx
y.etanx=tanx.etanx-sec2x.etanxdx   (using integration by parts)

y.etanx=tanx.etanx-etanx+c

Given, y0=0c=1

Solution of given differential is

y.etanx=tanx.etanx-etanx+1

Hence, y-π4=-1e-1-e-1+1e-1

 y-π4=e-2
