Key Concepts and Formulas

• Homogeneous Differential Equation: A differential equation of the form $\frac{dy}{dx} = f(x,y)$ is homogeneous if $f(tx, ty) = f(x,y)$ for any non-zero constant $t$.
• Solution Method: For a homogeneous differential equation, substitute $y = vx$ and $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$.
• Integration: Basic integration formulas will be needed.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the type of differential equation and verify homogeneity.

The given differential equation is $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\left(\frac{x^2 + 3y^2}{3x^2 + y^2}\right)$. We need to check if the right-hand side is a homogeneous function of degree zero. $f(x,y) = -\frac{x^2 + 3y^2}{3x^2 + y^2}$ Now, let's evaluate $f(tx, ty)$: $f(tx, ty) = -\frac{(tx)^2 + 3(ty)^2}{3(tx)^2 + (ty)^2} = -\frac{t^2x^2 + 3t^2y^2}{3t^2x^2 + t^2y^2} = -\frac{t^2(x^2 + 3y^2)}{t^2(3x^2 + y^2)} = -\frac{x^2 + 3y^2}{3x^2 + y^2} = f(x,y)$ Since $f(tx, ty) = f(x, y)$, the given differential equation is homogeneous.

Step 2: Substitute $y = vx$ and $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$ into the differential equation.

Substituting $y = vx$ into the differential equation gives: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x^2 + 3(vx)^2}{3x^2 + (vx)^2} = -\frac{x^2 + 3v^2x^2}{3x^2 + v^2x^2} = -\frac{x^2(1 + 3v^2)}{x^2(3 + v^2)} = -\frac{1 + 3v^2}{3 + v^2}$ Now, replace $\frac{dy}{dx}$ with $v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$: $v + x \frac{dv}{dx} = -\frac{1 + 3v^2}{3 + v^2}$

Step 3: Separate the variables.

$x \frac{dv}{dx} = -\frac{1 + 3v^2}{3 + v^2} - v = \frac{-1 - 3v^2 - 3v - v^3}{3 + v^2} = -\frac{v^3 + 3v^2 + 3v + 1}{3 + v^2} = -\frac{(v+1)^3}{3 + v^2}$ Now, separate the variables: $\frac{3 + v^2}{(v+1)^3} dv = -\frac{dx}{x}$

Step 4: Integrate both sides.

Integrate both sides of the equation: $\int \frac{3 + v^2}{(v+1)^3} dv = -\int \frac{dx}{x}$ Let's evaluate the integral on the left-hand side. We can rewrite the integrand as: $\frac{3 + v^2}{(v+1)^3} = \frac{A}{v+1} + \frac{B}{(v+1)^2} + \frac{C}{(v+1)^3}$ $3 + v^2 = A(v+1)^2 + B(v+1) + C = A(v^2 + 2v + 1) + B(v+1) + C = Av^2 + (2A+B)v + (A+B+C)$ Comparing coefficients, we have: $A = 1$ $2A + B = 0 \Rightarrow B = -2A = -2$ $A + B + C = 3 \Rightarrow 1 - 2 + C = 3 \Rightarrow C = 4$ So, the integral becomes: $\int \left(\frac{1}{v+1} - \frac{2}{(v+1)^2} + \frac{4}{(v+1)^3}\right) dv = -\int \frac{dx}{x}$ Integrating each term: $\int \frac{1}{v+1} dv - 2\int \frac{1}{(v+1)^2} dv + 4\int \frac{1}{(v+1)^3} dv = -\int \frac{dx}{x}$ $\ln|v+1| - 2\left(-\frac{1}{v+1}\right) + 4\left(-\frac{1}{2(v+1)^2}\right) = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln|v+1| + \frac{2}{v+1} - \frac{2}{(v+1)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$

Step 5: Substitute back $v = \frac{y}{x}$ and apply the initial condition $y(1) = 0$.

Substitute $v = \frac{y}{x}$: $\ln\left|\frac{y}{x} + 1\right| + \frac{2}{\frac{y}{x} + 1} - \frac{2}{\left(\frac{y}{x} + 1\right)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln\left|\frac{y+x}{x}\right| + \frac{2x}{y+x} - \frac{2x^2}{(y+x)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln|y+x| - \ln|x| + \frac{2x}{y+x} - \frac{2x^2}{(y+x)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln|y+x| + \frac{2x}{y+x} - \frac{2x^2}{(y+x)^2} = C_1$ Apply the initial condition $y(1) = 0$: $\ln|0+1| + \frac{2(1)}{0+1} - \frac{2(1)^2}{(0+1)^2} = C_1$ $\ln(1) + 2 - 2 = C_1$ $0 + 2 - 2 = C_1$ $C_1 = 0$ So, the solution is: $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2x}{x+y} - \frac{2x^2}{(x+y)^2} = 0$ $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2x(x+y) - 2x^2}{(x+y)^2} = 0$ $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2x^2 + 2xy - 2x^2}{(x+y)^2} = 0$ $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^2} = 0$

Common Mistakes & Tips

• Sign Errors: Be extremely careful with signs when separating variables and integrating.
• Algebraic Manipulation: Pay close attention while simplifying expressions and performing substitutions.
• Initial Conditions: Always remember to apply the initial conditions to find the particular solution.

Summary

We identified the given differential equation as homogeneous, made the substitution $y=vx$, separated the variables, integrated both sides, and applied the initial condition to find the particular solution. The solution to the differential equation is $\log _e|x+y|+\frac{2 x y}{(x+y)^2}=0$. This matches option (C) in the list of solutions, but the "Correct Answer" states that Option A is correct. Let us re-examine. We made an error in Step 3 with the sign. Let us correct this.

Step 3 (corrected): Separate the variables.

$x \frac{dv}{dx} = -\frac{1 + 3v^2}{3 + v^2} - v = \frac{-1 - 3v^2 - 3v - v^3}{3 + v^2} = -\frac{v^3 + 3v^2 + 3v + 1}{3 + v^2} = -\frac{(v+1)^3}{3 + v^2}$ Now, separate the variables: $\frac{3 + v^2}{(v+1)^3} dv = -\frac{dx}{x}$

This remains the same.

Step 4 (corrected): Integrate both sides.

This remains the same, so the result is $\ln|v+1| + \frac{2}{v+1} - \frac{2}{(v+1)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$

Step 5 (corrected): Substitute back $v = \frac{y}{x}$ and apply the initial condition $y(1) = 0$.

Substitute $v = \frac{y}{x}$: $\ln\left|\frac{y}{x} + 1\right| + \frac{2}{\frac{y}{x} + 1} - \frac{2}{\left(\frac{y}{x} + 1\right)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln\left|\frac{y+x}{x}\right| + \frac{2x}{y+x} - \frac{2x^2}{(y+x)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln|y+x| - \ln|x| + \frac{2x}{y+x} - \frac{2x^2}{(y+x)^2} = -\ln|x| + C_1$ $\ln|y+x| + \frac{2x(x+y) - 2x^2}{(x+y)^2} = C_1$ $\ln|y+x| + \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^2} = C_1$

Apply the initial condition $y(1) = 0$: $\ln|1+0| + \frac{2(1)(0)}{(1+0)^2} = C_1$ $0 + 0 = C_1$ $C_1 = 0$ So, the solution is: $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^2} = 0$

However, the correct answer is $\log _e|x+y|+\frac{x y}{(x+y)^2}=0$.

We must have made an error in integrating. Let us go back to step 4.

Step 4 (corrected): Integrate both sides.

Let us try to rewrite the fraction differently. $\frac{3 + v^2}{(v+1)^3} = \frac{(v+1)^2 -2v + 2}{(v+1)^3} = \frac{(v+1)^2 - 2(v+1) + 4}{(v+1)^3} = \frac{1}{v+1} - \frac{2}{(v+1)^2} + \frac{4}{(v+1)^3}$ This leads to the same result.

Let's consider $\log _e|x+y|+\frac{x y}{(x+y)^2}=0$. Differentiating this implicitly with respect to x, we get: $\frac{1}{x+y}(1 + \frac{dy}{dx}) + \frac{y + x \frac{dy}{dx}}{(x+y)^2} - \frac{2xy(1 + \frac{dy}{dx})}{(x+y)^3} = 0$ $\frac{1}{x+y} + \frac{1}{x+y}\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{(x+y)^2} + \frac{x}{(x+y)^2}\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^3} - \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^3}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ $\frac{dy}{dx} (\frac{1}{x+y} + \frac{x}{(x+y)^2} - \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^3}) = -\frac{1}{x+y} - \frac{y}{(x+y)^2} + \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^3}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} (\frac{(x+y)^2 + x(x+y) - 2xy}{(x+y)^3}) = -\frac{(x+y)^2 + y(x+y) - 2xy}{(x+y)^3}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} (\frac{x^2 + 2xy + y^2 + x^2 + xy - 2xy}{(x+y)^3}) = -\frac{x^2 + 2xy + y^2 + xy + y^2 - 2xy}{(x+y)^3}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} (\frac{2x^2 + xy + y^2}{(x+y)^3}) = -\frac{x^2 + xy + 2y^2}{(x+y)^3}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x^2 + xy + 2y^2}{2x^2 + xy + y^2}$

This doesn't match the initial equation. There must be an error in the statement of the problem.

Final Answer

The solution obtained does not match any of the options. Based on the derivation, the closest answer is $\ln|x+y| + \frac{2xy}{(x+y)^2} = 0$, which is not an option. There is likely an error in the given options. The question has a typo. If the differential equation were $\frac{d y}{d x}=-\left(\frac{2x^2+ x y + y^2}{x^2+ x y + 2y^2}\right), y(1)=0$ then option A is correct. The final answer is likely a typo. The correct answer is NOT among the options.
