If the curve, y = y(x) represented by the solution of the differential equation (2xy2 $-$ y)dx + xdy = 0, passes through the intersection of the lines, 2x $-$ 3y = 1 and 3x + 2y = 8, then |y(1)| is equal to _________.
Answer (integer)
1
Solution
Given, <br><br>$(2x{y^2} - y)dx + xdx = 0$<br><br>$\Rightarrow {{dy} \over {dx}} + 2{y^2} - {y \over x} = 0$<br><br>$$ \Rightarrow - {1 \over {{y^2}}}{{dy} \over {dx}} + {1 \over y}\left( {{1 \over x}} \right) = 2$$<br><br>${1 \over y} = z$<br><br>$- {1 \over {{y^2}}}{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dz} \over {dx}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow {{dz} \over {dx}} + z\left( {{1 \over x}} \right) = 2$<br><br>I. F. $= {e^{\int {{1 \over x}dx} }} = x$<br><br>$\therefore$ $z(x) = \int {2(x)dx} = {x^2} + c$<br><br>$\Rightarrow {x \over y} = {x^2} + c$<br><br>As it passes through P(2, 1)<br><br>[Point of intersection of $2x - 3y = 1$ and $3x + 2y = 8$]<br><br>$\therefore$ ${2 \over 1} = 4 + c$<br><br>$\Rightarrow c = - 2$<br><br>$\Rightarrow {x \over y} = {x^2} - 2$<br><br>Put x = 1<br><br>${1 \over y} = 1 - 2 = - 1$<br><br>$\Rightarrow y(1) = - 1$<br><br>$\Rightarrow |y(1)|\, = 1$
