Finding the value of f(a) at the lower bound is a standard method to get the constant of integration. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

Numerical Answer. Answer: 1 to 1

Solution

### Related Formula For a quadratic equation Am^2 + Bm + C = 0 having equal roots, Discriminant D = 0 Rightarrow B^2 - 4AC = 0. ### Core Logic Given quadratic equation in m: f(x)m^2 - 2f'(x)m + f''(x) = 0 has equal roots. D = 0 Rightarrow (-2f'(x))^2 - 4(f(x))(f''(x)) = 0 4(f'(x))^2 = 4f(x)f''(x) Rightarrow (f'(x))^2 = f(x)f''(x) ### Step 1: Solve the Differential Equation Rewrite the DE: fracf''(x)f'(x) = fracf'(x)f(x) Integrate both sides: int fracf''(x)f'(x) dx = int fracf'(x)f(x) dx ln|f'(x)| = ln|f(x)| + ln|c| Rightarrow f'(x) = c cdot f(x) Using given f(0) = 1 and f'(0) = 2: f'(0) = c cdot f(0) Rightarrow 2 = c(1) Rightarrow c = 2 Now we have f'(x) = 2f(x) Rightarrow fracf'(x)f(x) = 2. Integrate again: ln|f(x)| = 2x + d Use f(0) = 1 Rightarrow ln(1) = 0 + d Rightarrow d = 0. So, ln f(x) = 2x Rightarrow f(x) = e^2x. ### Step 2: Investigate increasing interval Let g(x) = f(ln x - x) = e^2(ln x - x). For g(x) to be increasing, g'(x) geq 0. g'(x) = 2e^2(ln x - x) cdot fracddx(ln x - x) g'(x) = 2e^2(ln x - x) left(frac1x - 1right) Since exponential is always positive, g'(x) geq 0 Rightarrow frac1x - 1 geq 0. frac1 - xx geq 0 The critical points are x=0, x=1. Based on domain of ln x, x > 0. Sign scheme yields positive derivative in x in (0, 1]. Therefore, (alpha, beta) = (0, 1) Rightarrow alpha = 0, beta = 1. ### Step 3: Final Output alpha + beta = 0 + 1 = 1 ### Pattern Recognition The relation (f')^2 = f cdot f'' is a classical indicator of exponential functions (f = Ce^kx). Solving via double logarithmic integration collapses the differential equation almost instantaneously. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Differential Equations Class 12 Maths: Applications of Derivatives

We calculate the Integrating Factor first to write down the integral solution. ### Step 1: Find the Integrating Factor (I.F.) Here, P(x) = 2sec^2 x and Q(x) = 2sec^2 x + 3tan x cdot sec^2 x: textI.F. = e^int 2sec^2 x dx = e^2tan x ### Step 2: Obtain the General Solution Multiply both sides by the integrating factor: y cdot e^2tan x = int e^2tan x left( 2sec^2 x + 3tan x cdot sec^2 x right) dx Let t = tan x implies dt = sec^2 x dx. The integral becomes: int e^2t (2 + 3t) dt = int 2 e^2t dt + 3 int t e^2t dt Applying integration by parts for the second term: 3 int t e^2t dt = 3 left[ fract e^2t2 - int frace^2t2 dt right] = frac3t e^2t2 - frac3e^2t4 Summing all parts: y cdot e^2tan x = e^2t + frac3t e^2t2 - frac3e^2t4 + C = e^2tan x left[ 1 + frac3tan x2 - frac34 right] + C y = frac3tan x2 + frac14 + C e^-2tan x ### Step 3: Apply the boundary conditions Using the initial boundary condition y(0) = frac54: frac54 = frac3(0)2 + frac14 + C e^0 implies C = 1 Thus, the complete function is: y(x) = frac3tan x2 + frac14 + e^-2tan x ### Step 4: Compute the final value Evaluate the function at x = fracpi4: yleft(fracpi4right) = frac3(1)2 + frac14 + e^-2 = frac74 + e^-2 Now, calculate the requested value: 12 left( yleft(fracpi4right) - e^-2 right) = 12 left( frac74 right) = 21 ### Pattern Recognition Integration by parts substitution: When integrating terms of the form int e^at P(t) dt (where P(t) is a polynomial), substituting the polynomial variable directly simplifies the exponential integration factors cleanly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

### Related Formula Standard variable separable integration form: int frac1sqrty^2 + a^2 \, mathrmdy = lnleft|y + sqrty^2 + a^2right| + C ### Core Logic The original paper solution states the structure equation setup as f''(x) = f(x). Multiply by f'(x) on both sides to transform it into a integrable derivative form. ### Step 1: Integrate the derivative identity f'(x) cdot f''(x) = f'(x) cdot f(x) Integrate both sides with respect to x: frac(f'(x))^22 = frac(f(x))^22 + C implies (f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + C' ### Step 2: Find the constant of integration Use initial conditions f(0) = 0 and f'(0) = 3: 3^2 = 0^2 + C' implies C' = 9 Thus, (f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + 9. Given f'(x) ge 0: f'(x) = sqrt(f(x))^2 + 9 ### Step 3: Variable Separation and Solution Form Let y = f(x) implies fracmathrmdymathrmdx = sqrty^2 + 9: int fracmathrmdysqrty^2 + 9 = int mathrmdx implies lnleft|y + sqrty^2 + 9right| = x + C_2 Substitute initial condition x=0, y=0: ln|0 + sqrt9| = 0 + C_2 implies C_2 = ln 3 Therefore, lnleft|y + sqrty^2 + 9right| = x + ln 3 implies y + sqrty^2 + 9 = 3e^x. ### Step 4: Compute targeted value We need to evaluate at x = ln 3: y + sqrty^2 + 9 = 3e^ln 3 = 3(3) = 9 sqrty^2 + 9 = 9 - y Square both sides: y^2 + 9 = 81 - 18y + y^2 implies 18y = 72 implies y = 4 Thus, f(ln 3) = 4. Multiply by 9: 9 f(ln 3) = 9(4) = 36 ### Pattern Recognition Multiplying a second derivative by the first derivative (f'f'') is a classic trick to convert a second-order linear differential equation into a first-order separable layout, opening a clear path to the solution. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Calculus
