Question 58

HardOriginal question

For x>0x > 0, yy satisfies xdydx−y=2x2+y2x\frac{dy}{dx} - y = 2\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}, and y=0y = 0 when x=1x = 1. What is yy when x=2x = 2?

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The general solution is y+x2+y2=Cx3y + \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} = Cx^{3}; at (1,0)(1, 0), 0+1=C0 + 1 = C, so C=1C = 1.

  2. At x=2x = 2: 4+y2=8−y\sqrt{4 + y^{2}} = 8 - y, so 4+y2=64−16y+y24 + y^{2} = 64 - 16y + y^{2} and y=6016=154y = \frac{60}{16} = \frac{15}{4}.

Worth noting

32\frac{3}{2} uses y+x2+y2=Cx2y + \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} = Cx^{2}, which forgets to multiply v+1+v2v + \sqrt{1 + v^{2}} through by xx.
