curve passes through (1,π6)\text{curve passes through } \left(1, \tfrac{\pi}{6}\right)

dydx=yx+sec⁡ ⁣(yx),x>0\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} + \sec\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right),\quad x>0

(choose the correct option)\text{(choose the correct option)}

1. homogeneous: put v=y/x1.\ \text{homogeneous: put } v=y/x

2. separate and integrate2.\ \text{separate and integrate}

3. use the point to fix C3.\ \text{use the point to fix } C

dydx=yx+sec⁡ ⁣(yx) is homogeneous\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x}+\sec\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \ \text{is homogeneous}

v=yx⇒y=vxv=\frac{y}{x} \Rightarrow y=vx

dydx=v+xdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}

v+xdvdx=v+sec⁡v⇒xdvdx=sec⁡vv + x\frac{dv}{dx} = v + \sec v \Rightarrow x\frac{dv}{dx} = \sec v

cos⁡v dv=dxx\cos v\,dv = \frac{dx}{x}

sin⁡v=log⁡x+C\sin v = \log x + C

⇒sin⁡ ⁣(yx)=log⁡x+C\Rightarrow \sin\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \log x + C

x=1, yx=π6: sin⁡π6=log⁡1+Cx=1,\ \tfrac{y}{x}=\tfrac{\pi}{6}:\ \sin\tfrac{\pi}{6} = \log 1 + C

12=0+C⇒C=12\frac{1}{2} = 0 + C \Rightarrow C = \frac{1}{2}

sin⁡ ⁣(yx)=log⁡x+12 ⇒ option (1)\sin\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \log x + \frac{1}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ \text{option (1)}

sin⁡ ⁣(yx)=log⁡x+12⇒(1)\boxed{\sin\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \log x + \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow (1)}
