Solve the differential equation dy = cos x (2 – y cosec x) dx given that y = 2 when x = π/2.
Given differential equation, dy = cos x (2 – y cosec x) dx

Form the differential equation by eliminating A and B in Ax2 + By2 = 1.
Given, Ax2 + By2 = 1
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get


Solve the differential equation (1 + y2) tan–1x dx + 2y (1 + x2) dy = 0.
Given differential equation, (1 + y2) tan–1x dx + 2y (1 + x2) dy = 0
2y (1 + x2) dy = -(1 + y2) tan-1x dx

Thus, the above equation is the required solution.
Find the differential equation of system of concentric circles with centre (1, 2).
The family of concentric circles with centre (1, 2) and radius ‘r’ is given by
(x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = r2
Differentiating both sides w.r.t, x we get

Thus, the above is the required equation.
