If y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation dy/dx = (tan x - y) sec² x, x ∈ (-π/2, π/2) such that y(0) = 0, then y(-π/4) is equal to:

  1. 1/2 - e
  2. e - 2
  3. 2 + 1/e
  4. 1/e - 2

Correct answer: e - 2

Solution

The correct option is derived from solving the given first-order linear differential equation using an integrating factor. By applying the initial condition y(0) = 0, we can find the particular solution and evaluate it at x = -π/4, leading to the result e - 2.
