soln of
(dy/dx)2-xdy/dx+y=0

in solns they have solved using options...but is there a direct soln ??

take dy/dx=p

so p2-xp+y=0

differentiat wrt x

2p.dp/dx-p-xdp/dx+p=0

dp/dx(2p-x)=0

dp/dx=0....so p=c

or
p=x/2

dy/dx=x/2

y=x2/4 + c

so that doesnt match with teh option but does satisfy

so that wasnt the only soln given...der r many more.....so thts why they may hav solved using options ? or am i rong ?

????

dunno why che's answer was not there in the options..
...but if we take the case that dp/dx = 0 ..t

that means p = constant ..c

dy/ dx = c..

y = cx + d

on puuting this in the differential equation we get

y = cx - c2

and there was a similar option there in the question... : )

@govind well x^2/4 is satisfying the differential eq :)
