Find the particular solution, y=f(x), to the differential equation (dy)/(dx)=(cos x)/(y) given f((3pi)/(2))=-1 and then find f((pi)/(2)).

Separate and Integrate: Step 1: Separate variables and integrate. We start by separating the variables in the differential equation (dy)/(dx) = (cos x)/y. Rearrange to get y dy = cos x dx. Integrate both sides: ∫y dy = ∫cos x dx, y^2/2 = sin x + C,Solve for y: Step 2: Solve for y. To find y, rearrange the equation: y^2 = 2(sin x + C), y = ±sqrt(2(sin x + C)),Find C: Step 3: Use the initial condition to find C. Given f((3pi)/(2)) = -1, plug in x = (3pi)/(2) and y = -1: (-1)^2 = 2(sin((3pi)/(2)) + C), 1 = 2(-1 + C), 1 = -2 + 2C, 2C = 3, C = 3/2,Write Solution: Step 4: Write the particular solution. With C = 3/2, the solution becomes: y = ±sqrt(2(sin x + 3/2)), Since f((3pi)/(2)) = -1, we choose the negative branch: y = -sqrt(2(sin x + 3/2)),Find f(pi/2): Step 5: Find f((pi)/(2)). Plug in x = (pi)/(2): f((pi)/(2)) = -sqrt(2(sin((pi)/(2)) + 3/2)), f((pi)/(2)) = -sqrt(2(1 + 3/2)), f((pi)/(2)) = -sqrt(2 * 2.5), f((pi)/(2)) = -sqrt(5),

Separate and Integrate: Step $1$ : Separate variables and integrate. $\newline$ We start by separating the variables in the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x}{y}$ . Rearrange to get $y dy = \cos x dx$ . $\newline$ Integrate both sides: $\newline$ $\int y dy = \int \cos x dx$ , $\newline$ $\frac{y^2}{2} = \sin x + C$ ,
Solve for y: Step $2$ : Solve for y. $\newline$ To find y, rearrange the equation: $\newline$ $y^2 = 2(\sin x + C)$ , $\newline$ $y = \pm\sqrt{2(\sin x + C)}$ ,
Find C: Step $3$ : Use the initial condition to find C. $\newline$ Given $f\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1$ , plug in $x = \frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $y = -1$ : $\newline$ $(-1)^2 = 2(\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) + C)$ , $\newline$ $1 = 2(-1 + C)$ , $\newline$ $1 = -2 + 2C$ , $\newline$ $2C = 3$ , $\newline$ $C = \frac{3}{2}$ ,
Write Solution: Step $4$ : Write the particular solution. $\newline$ With $C = \frac{3}{2}$ , the solution becomes: $\newline$ $y = \pm\sqrt{2(\sin x + \frac{3}{2})}$ , $\newline$ Since $f\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1$ , we choose the negative branch: $\newline$ $y = -\sqrt{2(\sin x + \frac{3}{2})}$ ,
Find $f(\frac{\pi}{2})$ : Step $5$ : Find $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ . $\newline$ Plug in $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ : $\newline$ $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{2(\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + \frac{3}{2})}$ , $\newline$ $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{2(1 + \frac{3}{2})}$ , $\newline$ $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{2 \times 2.5}$ , $\newline$ $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{5}$ ,
