Answer
Answer
Official answer keyThe given D.E is $\frac{dy}{dx} + y\sec^2 x = \tan x\sec^2 x$
$\therefore$ I.F $= e^{\int\sec^2 x\,dx} = e^{\tan x}$
So, the solution of the D.E is given by $y\cdot e^{\tan x} = \int\tan x\cdot\sec^2 x\cdot e^{\tan x}\,dx + c$
Let $\tan x = t$, so that $\sec^2 x\,dx = dt$
$y\cdot e^{\tan x} = \int t\cdot e^t\,dt + c = te^t - e^t + c$
$y e^{\tan x} = \tan x\cdot e^{\tan x} - e^{\tan x} + c$
Given $x = 0$ then $y = 1$, $c = 2$
$\therefore$ Required Solution: $y\cdot e^{\tan x} = \tan x\,e^{\tan x} - e^{\tan x} + 2$
$y = \tan x - 1 + 2e^{-\tan x}$
$\therefore y\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{2}{e}$
Final answer: $y = \tan x - 1 + 2e^{-\tan x}$; $y\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{2}{e}$
