1.11.7 Differential equations with separable variables (A-level only)

a.

Express $1(1+2x)(1−x)\frac{1}{(1+2x)(1-x)}$ in partial fractions.

[3]

b.

Hence find the solution of the differential equation

(1+2x)(1-x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \tan y

for the interval $−12<x<1-\frac{1}{2} < x < 1$ , given that $\frac{\pi}{2}$ when $x = 0$ .

Give your answer in the form $sin^n y = f(x)$ where $n$ is an integer to be found.
