Find an explicit solution of the given initial-value problem. (1 + x4) dy + x(1 + 4y2) dx = 0, y(1) = 0

a solution is 1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) + π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

for the equation

(1 + x⁴) dy + x*(1 + 4y²) dx = 0

(1 + x⁴) dy  = - x*(1 + 4y²) dx

[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = [-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

∫[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

now to solve each integral

I₁= ∫[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = 1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) + C₁

I₂=  ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

for u= x² → du=x*dx

I₂=  ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx = -∫[1/(1 + u² )] du = - tan⁻¹ (u) +C₂ =  - tan⁻¹ (x²) +C₂

then

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) +C

for y(x=1) = 0

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*0) = - tan⁻¹ (1²) +C

since tan⁻¹ (1²) for π/4+ π*N and tan⁻¹ (0) for  π*N , we will choose for simplicity N=0 . hen an explicit solution would be

1/2 * 0 = - π/4 + C

C= π/4

therefore

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) + π/4
