Question 67

HardOriginal question

The slope of a curve at every point (x,y)(x, y) is 2yx\frac{2y}{x}, and the curve passes through (1,3)(1, 3). What is yy when x=2x = 2?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. dyy=2 dxx\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{2\,dx}{x}, so log⁡∣y∣=2log⁡∣x∣+log⁡∣C∣\log|y| = 2\log|x| + \log|C|: y=Cx2y = Cx^2.

  2. Through (1,3)(1, 3): C=3C = 3. At x=2x = 2, y=12y = 12.

Worth noting

6 treats the curve as the line y=3xy = 3x; the factor 2 in the slope makes it a parabola.
