If cos y = x cos (a + y) with cos a ≠ ± 1 then prove that

Question:

If \cos y = x \cos(a + y), with \cos a \neq \pm 1, then prove that \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{\cos^2(a + y)}{\sin a}. Hence show that \sin a \dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}+ \sin 2(a + y) \dfrac{dy}{dx}=0. ……..      [CBSC  2016]

Solution:

Given, \cos y = x \cos(a + y)

\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{\cos y}{\cos (a + y)}

Differentiating with respect to y on both sides, we get

\dfrac{dx}{dy} = \dfrac{\cos (a + y)\times (-\sin y)-\cos y \times [-\sin(a + y)]}{\cos^2(a + y)}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{dx}{dy}= \dfrac{\cos y \sin (a + y) - \sin y \cos (a + y)}{\cos^2 y}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{dx}{dy} = \dfrac{\sin(a + y - y)}{\cos^2(a + y)}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{\sin a}{\cos^2(a + y)}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\cos^2(a + y)}{\sin a}

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} = \dfrac{1}{\sin a}\left[-2\cos (a + y).\sin (a + y).\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]

\Rightarrow \sin a \dfrac{d^2}y{dx^2} = -\sin 2(a + y).\dfrac{dy}{dx}

\Rightarrow \sin a \dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}+ \sin 2(a + y) \dfrac{dy}{dx}=0

{x cos y/x + y sin y/x}y dx = {y siny/x – x cos y/x}x dy

2yxe^{x/y} dx + (y-2xe^{x/y} dx = 0

(1 + e^{y/x})dy + e^{y/x}(1 – \frac{y}{x}) = 0
