TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)
TypeSeparable variables
DifficultyHard +2.3 This AEA question requires differentiating an integral identity to establish a relationship, then solving a non-standard differential equation involving trigonometric functions and exponentials. The multi-step proof structure, unfamiliar setup (differentiating the product rule for integrals), and complex integration involving e^(cot x) place it well above typical A-level material, though the individual calculus techniques are accessible to strong students.

5.In this question u and v are functions of \(x\) .Given that \(\int \mathrm { u } \mathrm { d } x , \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm { d } x\) and \(\int \mathrm { uv } \mathrm { d } x\) satisfy $$\int \text { uv } \mathrm { d } x = \left( \int \mathrm { u } \mathrm {~d} x \right) \times \left( \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm {~d} x \right) \quad \text { uv } \neq 0$$
  1. show that \(1 = \frac { \int \mathrm { u } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { u } } + \frac { \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { v } }\) Given also that \(\frac { \int \mathrm { u } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { u } } = \mathrm { sin } ^ { 2 } x\),
  2. use part(a)to write down an expression,in terms of \(x\) ,for \(\frac { \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { v } }\) ,
  3. show that $$\frac { 1 } { \mathrm { u } } \frac { \mathrm { du } } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 - 2 \sin x \cos x } { \sin ^ { 2 } x }$$
  4. hence use integration to show that \(\mathrm { u } = A \mathrm { e } ^ { - \cot x } \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 2 } x\) ,where \(A\) is an arbitrary constant.
  5. By differentiating \(\mathrm { e } ^ { \tan x }\) find a similar expression for v .

\item show that $1 = \frac { \int \mathrm { u } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { u } } + \frac { \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { v } }$

Given also that $\frac { \int \mathrm { u } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { u } } = \mathrm { sin } ^ { 2 } x$,
\item use part(a)to write down an expression,in terms of $x$ ,for $\frac { \int \mathrm { v } \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm { v } }$ ,
\item show that

$$\frac { 1 } { \mathrm { u } } \frac { \mathrm { du } } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 - 2 \sin x \cos x } { \sin ^ { 2 } x }$$
\item hence use integration to show that $\mathrm { u } = A \mathrm { e } ^ { - \cot x } \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 2 } x$ ,where $A$ is an arbitrary constant.
\item By differentiating $\mathrm { e } ^ { \tan x }$ find a similar expression for v .
