Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Integrating, y=sin⁡x+Cy = \sin x + C.

  2. At x=0x = 0: 2=0+C2 = 0 + C, so C=2C = 2 and y=sin⁡x+2y = \sin x + 2.

Worth noting

y=sin⁡x+Cy = \sin x + C is the general solution; the condition must fix CC. y=cos⁡x+1y = \cos x + 1 passes through (0,2)(0, 2) but has slope −sin⁡x-\sin x.
