Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. y=vxy = vx: v+xdvdx=v(1+v)1−vv + x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v(1 + v)}{1 - v}, so xdvdx=2v21−vx\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2v^{2}}{1 - v} and (12v2−12v)dv=dxx\left(\frac{1}{2v^{2}} - \frac{1}{2v}\right)dv = \frac{dx}{x}.

  2. −12v−12log⁡∣v∣=log⁡∣x∣+c-\frac{1}{2v} - \frac{1}{2}\log\lvert v \rvert = \log\lvert x \rvert + c; times −2-2: 1v+log⁡∣v∣+2log⁡∣x∣=C\frac{1}{v} + \log\lvert v \rvert + 2\log\lvert x \rvert = C.

  3. log⁡∣yx∣+2log⁡∣x∣=log⁡∣xy∣\log\left\lvert \frac{y}{x} \right\rvert + 2\log\lvert x \rvert = \log\lvert xy \rvert, so xy+log⁡∣xy∣=C\frac{x}{y} + \log\lvert xy \rvert = C.

Worth noting

xy+log⁡∣y∣=C\frac{x}{y} + \log\lvert y \rvert = C drops the 2 when log⁡∣x∣\log\lvert x \rvert is multiplied by −2-2.
