  • a) Which type of differential equation represents? Also solve it. [3]
  • b) Evaluate: . [3]
  • c) Two cars start from certain places at the same instant. One goes east at 60km/hr and other goes south at 80km/hr. How fast is the distance between them increasing ? Express in symbolic form. [2]

Answer

a) Type and Solution of the Differential Equation

The given differential equation is:

Type: This is a First Order Linear Differential Equation in the standard form .

Solution:

  1. Divide the entire equation by to get the standard form: Here, and .

  2. Find the Integrating Factor (I.F.):

  3. Multiply the standard form equation by the I.F. (): The left-hand side becomes the derivative of the product :

  4. Integrate both sides with respect to :

  5. Evaluate the integral using Integration by Parts (): Let Let

  6. Substitute back into the equation:

Final Answer: The equation is a First Order Linear Differential Equation. The solution is .

b) Evaluation of the Integral

Evaluate:

Step 1: Partial Fraction Decomposition Assume: Multiply by the denominator :

Step 2: Determine Constants A, B, and C

  • Put :
  • Compare coefficients of :
  • Compare constant terms:

So, the decomposition is:

Step 3: Integrate Term by Term

  1. For , let , then .

Substituting these back:

Final Answer:

c) Rate of Change of Distance

Let the starting point be the origin . Let be the distance traveled by the car going East. Let be the distance traveled by the car going South. Let be the distance between the two cars.

Given:

By the Pythagorean theorem, the relationship between the distances is:

Differentiate both sides with respect to time :

Since , the symbolic expression for the rate at which the distance is increasing is:

Final Answer: The rate of increase in distance is km/hr.
