Homogeneous & Linear Differential Equations · Question 100 of 120

Question 100

MediumOriginal question

What is the general solution of dydx+y=e−x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = e^{-x}?

Options for question 100

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The factor is exe^{x}: ddx(yex)=ex⋅e−x=1\frac{d}{dx}(ye^{x}) = e^{x} \cdot e^{-x} = 1.

  2. yex=x+Cye^{x} = x + C, so y=(x+C)e−xy = (x + C)e^{-x}.

Worth noting

Ce−xCe^{-x} solves dydx+y=0\frac{dy}{dx} + y = 0, without the right-hand side.
