Question

The general solution of the differential equation

+ xy = 0 is :

(where C is a constant of integration)

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C

Step-by-step explanation

+ xy = 0

+ xy = 0

= -xy

.....(1)

Now put 1 + x2 = u2 and 1 + y2 = v2

2xdx = 2udu and 2ydy = 2vdv

xdx = udu and ydy = vdv

Substitute these values in equation (1)





v =

v = -u - + C

= + + C
