Question 117

HardOriginal question

For y>0y > 0, xx satisfies dxdy+2xy=4y\frac{dx}{dy} + \frac{2x}{y} = 4y, and x=2x = 2 when y=1y = 1. What is xx when y=2y = 2?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Linear in xx with P1=2yP_{1} = \frac{2}{y}: the factor is y2y^{2}, and xy2=∫4y3 dy=y4+Cxy^{2} = \int 4y^{3}\,dy = y^{4} + C.

  2. At y=1y = 1: 2=1+C2 = 1 + C, so C=1C = 1 and x=y2+1y2x = y^{2} + \frac{1}{y^{2}}.

  3. At y=2y = 2: x=4+14=174x = 4 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4}.

Worth noting

5 uses x=y2+Cx = y^{2} + C: the constant was not divided by the factor y2y^{2}.
