    • Note: It is specified that aRa \in \mathbb{R}.
  • Initial Condition:y=1y = 1 when x=0x = 0
  • Methodology:
    • The equation implies the derivative is a constant value determined by the inverse cosine of aa.
    • Express the derivative: dydx=cos1(a)\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos^{-1}(a)
  • Step-by-Step Solving:

  • Differential Equation:dydx=ytan(x)\frac{dy}{dx} = y \tan(x)
  • Initial Condition:y=1y = 1 when x=0x = 0
  • Methodology: Separation of Variables
    • Group terms with respect to their variables:         1ydy=tan(x)dx\frac{1}{y}\,dy = \tan(x)\,dx
  • Step-by-Step Solving:
    • Integrate both sides:         1ydy=tan(x)dx\int \frac{1}{y}\,dy = \int \tan(x)\,dx
    • Recall the integral of the tangent function:         lny=lnsec(x)+C\ln|y| = \ln|\sec(x)| + C
    • Transform the logarithmic equation:         y=elnsec(x)+C=eCsec(x)y = e^{\ln|\sec(x)| + C} = e^C \cdot |\sec(x)|         Let A=eCA = e^C, so y=Asec(x)y = A \sec(x).
  • Finding the Particular Solution:
    • Substitute x=0,y=1x = 0, y = 1:         1=Asec(0)1 = A \sec(0)         Since sec(0)=1cos(0)=1\sec(0) = \frac{1}{\cos(0)} = 1:         1=A(1)A=11 = A(1) \rightarrow A = 1
    • Final Solution:y=sec(x)y = \sec(x) (for values where the function is defined, typically within the first quadrant for initial values of 0).
