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

### Related Formula For a first-order linear differential equation fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x): - Integrating Factor (I.F.) = e^int P(x) \, dx - Solution is y cdot textI.F. = int Q(x) cdot textI.F. \, dx + C ### Core Logic Let's simplify the coefficient of y: 3tan^2 x + 3 = 3(tan^2 x + 1) = 3sec^2 x Thus, the equation is: fracdydx + 3(sec^2 x)y = sec^2 x ### Step 1: Finding Integrating Factor and General Solution I.F. = e^int 3sec^2 x \, dx = e^3tan x The general solution is: y cdot e^3tan x = int sec^2 x cdot e^3tan x \, dx + C Substitute u = 3tan x implies du = 3sec^2 x \, dx: y cdot e^3tan x = frac13 int e^u \, du + C = frac13 e^3tan x + C ### Step 2: Solving for boundary conditions Given y(0) = frac13 + e^3: left(frac13 + e^3right) cdot e^0 = frac13 e^0 + C implies C = e^3 Thus, the explicit function is: y = frac13 + e^3 - 3tan x Evaluating at x = fracpi4: yleft(fracpi4right) = frac13 + e^3 - 3tan(pi/4) = frac13 + e^3-3 = frac13 + 1 = frac43 ### Pattern Recognition Recognizing that 3tan^2 x + 3 = 3sec^2 x converts the system immediately into a classic linear differential equation where the coefficient of y is exactly the derivative of the exponent of I.F. This makes integration virtually instantaneous. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 11 Mathematics: Trigonometric Functions

### Related Formula Standard first-order linear differential equation form: fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) Integrating Factor: I.F. = e^int P(x)dx Solution layout: y cdot (I.F.) = int Q(x) cdot (I.F.) dx + C ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation into standard linear form: x(x^2 + e^x)fracdydx + e^x(x - 2)y = x^3 fracdydx + frace^x(x - 2)x(x^2 + e^x)y = fracx^2x^2 + e^x ### Step 1: Determine Integrating Factor We need to integrate P(x) = frace^x(x-2)x(x^2+e^x): int frace^x(x-2)x(x^2+e^x) dx = int fracxe^x - 2e^xx(x^2+e^x) dx = int fracfracxe^x - 2e^xx^31 + frace^xx^2 dx Let t = 1 + frace^xx^2. Then dt = fracx^2e^x - e^x(2x)x^4 dx = fracxe^x - 2e^xx^3 dx. Thus: int P(x)dx = int fracdtt = ln|t| = lnleft|1 + frace^xx^2right| Therefore, the integrating factor is: I.F. = e^lnleft(1 + frace^xx^2right) = 1 + frace^xx^2 = fracx^2 + e^xx^2 ### Step 2: Construct the General Solution Using the linear equation solution template: y cdot left(fracx^2 + e^xx^2right) = int left(fracx^2x^2 + e^xright) cdot left(fracx^2 + e^xx^2right) dx + C y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = int 1 cdot dx + C y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = x + C ### Step 3: Evaluate Constant and Compute y(2) The curve passes through (1, 0). Substitute x=1, y=0: 0 cdot (1 + e) = 1 + C implies C = -1 So the exact solution equation is: y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = x - 1 implies y = fracx - 11 + frace^xx^2 To find y(2), substitute x=2: y(2) = frac2 - 11 + frace^22^2 = frac11 + frace^24 = frac44 + e^2 ### Pattern Recognition Spotting the functional derivative framework inside P(x) by dividing the numerator and denominator by x^3 uncovers the standard form int fracf'(x)f(x)dx cleanly, converting an otherwise intimidating integral into a basic natural log operation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 12 Mathematics: Integrals
