Solution

### Related Formula A first-order linear differential equation in standard form fracdxdt + P(t)x = Q(t) is solved using the Integrating Factor: textI.F. = e^int P(t) \, dt ### Core Logic Let's rearrange the given differential equation into standard linear form: (t+1)dx = (2x + (t+1)^4)dt fracdxdt = frac2x + (t+1)^4t+1 fracdxdt - frac2t+1x = (t+1)^3 ### Step 1: Compute Integrating Factor and General Solution Here, P(t) = -frac2t+1 and Q(t) = (t+1)^3. textI.F. = e^int -frac2t+1 \, dt = e-2ln(t+1) = frac1(t+1)^2 The general solution is given by: x cdot textI.F. = int Q(t) cdot textI.F. \, dt + C fracx(t+1)^2 = int (t+1)^3 cdot frac1(t+1)^2 \, dt + C fracx(t+1)^2 = int (t+1) \, dt + C = frac(t+1)^22 + C ### Step 2: Apply Boundary Condition Given the initial condition x(0) = 2: frac2(0+1)^2 = frac(0+1)^22 + C implies 2 = frac12 + C implies C = frac32 Hence, the specific solution curve is: fracx(t+1)^2 = frac(t+1)^22 + frac32 x(t) = frac(t+1)^42 + frac32(t+1)^2 ### Step 3: Evaluate at t = 1 Substituting t = 1: x(1) = frac(1+1)^42 + frac32(1+1)^2 = frac162 + frac32(4) = 8 + 6 = 14 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Linear form hidden under differential grouping coefficients.

  • C. 4
  • D. 9

Solution

### Related Formula dleft(fracyxright) = fracx\,dy - y\,dxx^2 ### Core Logic Let us reorganize the given differential equation: x cosleft(fracyxright) fracdydx - y cosleft(fracyxright) = x cosleft(fracyxright) left[ x fracdydx - y right] = x Dividing both sides by x^2: cosleft(fracyxright) left( fracx \, dy - y \, dxx^2 right) = frac1x ### Step 1: Integration Process Let fracyx = t. The equation transforms to: cos t \, dt = frac1x \, dx Integrating both sides: sin t = ln|x| + c implies sinleft(fracyxright) = ln|x| + c ### Step 2: Resolving Constant via Boundary Limits Given boundary state y(1) = fracpi3: sinleft(fracpi/31right) = ln|1| + c implies fracsqrt32 = 0 + c implies c = fracsqrt32 Comparing with the given form sinleft(fracyxright) = log_e|x| + fracalpha2: fracalpha2 = fracsqrt32 implies alpha = sqrt3 Therefore: alpha^2 = 3 ### Pattern Recognition Recognize the standard quotient derivative pattern early.

Solution

### Related Formula Using derivative definition limit formats: lim_r to x fracf(r) - f(x)r - x = f'(x) ### Core Logic Squaring both sides of the structural limit equation to remove root blocks: f^2(x) = lim_r to x left( frac2r^2 f(r)r+x cdot fracf(r) - f(x)r - x - r^3 e^f(r)/r right) Evaluating limits as r rightarrow x: f^2(x) = frac2x^2 f(x)2x f'(x) - x^3 e^f(x)/x implies y^2 = x y fracdydx - x^3 e^y/x ### Step 1: Transforming variables Reorganizing the differential form: fracyx = fracdydx - fracx^2y e^y/x Substitute homogeneous parameters y = vx implies fracdydx = v + xfracdvdx: v = v + xfracdvdx - frac1v e^v implies xfracdvdx = frace^vv implies v e^-v\,dv = frac1x\,dx ### Step 2: Integrating and Boundary Resolution Integrating both sides: -(v + 1)e^-v = ln|x| + C Given f(1) = 1 implies x = 1, y = 1 implies v = 1: -(1 + 1)e^-1 = ln(1) + C implies C = -frac2e Thus, the solution is: -(v+1)e^-v = ln|x| - frac2e We need to find a such that f(a) = 0 implies y = 0 implies v = 0: -(0 + 1)e^0 = ln|a| - frac2e implies -1 = ln|a| - frac2e ln|a| = frac2e - 1 This gives a = e^frac2e-1 = frac2e via standard tracking bounds.

Let x=x(t) and y=y(t) be solutions of the differential equations fracdxdt+ax=0 and fracdydt+by=0 respectively, a, b in R. Given that x(0)=2; y(0)=1 and 3y(1)=2x(1), the value of t, for which x(t)=y(t), is:
  • A. log_frac232
  • B. log_43
  • C. log_34
  • D. log_frac432

Solution

### Related Formula int frac1x dx = ln|x| + C ### Core Logic Solving the first differential equation: fracdxdt + ax = 0 Rightarrow fracdxx = -a dt Integrating both sides: ln|x| = -at + c_1 Given x(0) = 2, we find c_1 = ln 2. Thus: ln(x) = -at + ln 2 Rightarrow x(t) = 2e^-at ### Step 1: Solving for y(t) Solving the second differential equation: fracdydt + by = 0 Rightarrow fracdyy = -b dt Integrating both sides: ln|y| = -bt + c_2 Given y(0) = 1, we find c_2 = 0. Thus: y(t) = e^-bt ### Step 2: Applying the condition We are given 3y(1) = 2x(1). Substituting our solutions at t=1: 3(e^-b) = 2(2e^-a) Rightarrow 3e^-b = 4e^-a Rearranging to group exponential terms: frace^-be^-a = frac43 Rightarrow e^a-b = frac43 ### Step 3: Finding t for x(t) = y(t) Set the two trajectory solutions equal: x(t) = y(t) Rightarrow 2e^-at = e^-bt Rearranging gives: 2 = frace^-bte^-at Rightarrow 2 = e^(a-b)t Substitute e^a-b = frac43 from Step 2: 2 = left(frac43right)^t Taking log_frac43 on both sides yields: t = log_frac432 ### Pattern Recognition For fracdzdt + kz = 0, the solution is always an exponential decay z = z_0 e^-kt.

Numerical Answer. Answer: 29 to 29

Solution

### Related Formula fracdydx = f(ax+by+c) Substitute t = ax+by+c to reduce the equation to variable separable form. ### Core Logic The differential equation can be written as: fracdydx = -frac2x+3y-24x+6y-7 Observe that 4x+6y = 2(2x+3y). Let us substitute t = 2x+3y-2. Taking derivatives with respect to x: fracdtdx = 2 + 3fracdydx Rightarrow fracdydx = frac13left(fracdtdx - 2right) ### Step 1: Translating and Simplifying Substitute t into the differential equation: frac13left(fracdtdx - 2right) = -fract2(t+2)-7 fracdtdx - 2 = -frac3t2t-3 fracdtdx = 2 - frac3t2t-3 fracdtdx = frac4t - 6 - 3t2t - 3 = fract - 62t - 3 ### Step 2: Variable Separation Integration Separate the variables t and x: int frac2t - 3t - 6 dt = int dx Decompose the fraction algebraically: int frac2(t-6) + 9t-6 dt = int left( 2 + frac9t-6 right) dt 2t + 9ln|t-6| = x + C ### Step 3: Restoring Original Variables Substitute t = 2x + 3y - 2 back: 2(2x + 3y - 2) + 9ln|2x + 3y - 2 - 6| = x + C 4x + 6y - 4 + 9ln|2x + 3y - 8| = x + C 3x + 6y + 9ln|2x + 3y - 8| = C + 4 Divide the entire equation by 3: x + 2y + 3ln|2x + 3y - 8| = C' ### Step 4: Finding the Constant of Integration Given initial condition y(0) = 3 (when x=0, y=3): 0 + 2(3) + 3ln|2(0) + 3(3) - 8| = C' 6 + 3ln|1| = C' Rightarrow C' = 6 Thus, the specific solution is: x + 2y + 3ln|2x + 3y - 8| = 6 ### Step 5: Comparing and Final Evaluation Comparing with the given form alpha x + beta y + 3ln|2x + 3y - gamma| = 6: alpha = 1, beta = 2, gamma = 8. Compute the required expression: alpha + 2beta + 3gamma = 1 + 2(2) + 3(8) = 1 + 4 + 24 = 29 ### Pattern Recognition When the coefficients of x and y in the numerator and denominator are proportional (i.e. a_1/a_2 = b_1/b_2), the standard procedure is to use a direct composite substitution t = ax+by which effortlessly maps to a basic logarithmic integral. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Differential Equations
