Question 106

MediumOriginal question

For dydx+yx=3\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{x} = 3, with x>0x > 0, which of the following statements are true?

I. Its integrating factor is xx.

II. Its general solution is y=3x+Cxy = 3x + \frac{C}{x}.

III. y=3xy = 3x is one of its solutions.

IV. Its solution through (1,2)(1, 2) is y=3x2+12xy = \frac{3x}{2} + \frac{1}{2x}.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. I: e∫dxx=xe^{\int \frac{dx}{x}} = x, and ddx(xy)=3x\frac{d}{dx}(xy) = 3x gives xy=3x22+Cxy = \frac{3x^{2}}{2} + C, so y=3x2+Cxy = \frac{3x}{2} + \frac{C}{x}; II has lost the 12\frac{1}{2}.

  2. III: on y=3xy = 3x the left side is 3+3=63 + 3 = 6, not 3. IV: 32+C=2\frac{3}{2} + C = 2 gives C=12C = \frac{1}{2}.

Worth noting

II integrates 3x3x as 3x23x^{2}; ∫3x dx=3x22\int 3x\,dx = \frac{3x^{2}}{2}.
