Homogeneous & Linear Differential Equations · Question 38 of 120

Question 38

MediumOriginal question

yy satisfies xdydx=x+2yx\frac{dy}{dx} = x + 2y, and y=0y = 0 when x=1x = 1. What is yy when x=3x = 3?

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The general solution is y=Cx2−xy = Cx^{2} - x; y(1)=0y(1) = 0 gives C=1C = 1.

  2. y=x2−xy = x^{2} - x, so at x=3x = 3: 9−3=69 - 3 = 6.

Worth noting

−6-6 comes from y=Cx2+xy = Cx^{2} + x, the sign slip: then C=−1C = -1.
