Let f:(0,infty)rightarrow R be a function which is differentiable at all points of its domain and satisfies the condition x^2f^prime(x)=2xf(x)+3, with f(1)=4 Then 2f(2) is equal to: [cite: 3263, 3264]

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The quotient rule derivative identity is given by: fracddxleft(fracf(x)x^2right) = fracx^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x)x^4 ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential condition: x^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x) = 3 ### Step 1: Divide by x^4 To convert the left-hand side into an exact derivative form, divide the full relation by x^4: fracx^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x)x^4 = frac3x^4 fracddxleft(fracf(x)x^2right) = 3x^-4 ### Step 2: Integration and Evaluating Constant Integrating both sides with respect to x [cite: 3893, 3894]: fracf(x)x^2 = int 3x^-4 dx = -x^-3 + C = -frac1x^3 + C f(x) = -frac1x + Cx^2 Using the given value f(1) = 4 [cite: 3264, 3896]: 4 = -frac11 + C(1)^2 Rightarrow 4 = -1 + C Rightarrow C = 5 Thus, the function is f(x) = -frac1x + 5x^2. ### Step 3: Calculating 2f(2) Substitute x = 2 to compute 2f(2) : 2 times f(2) = 2 times left[ -frac12 + 5(2)^2 right] 2 times f(2) = 2 times left[ -frac12 + 20 right] = -1 + 40 = 39 [cite: 3900, 3901] ### Pattern Recognition Recognizing the structure x^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x) as a partial quotient rule is faster than formatting it into standard linear order \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$ format, though both methods lead to the identical integration parameters safely. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations

### Related Formula Leibniz Integral Rule for differentiation under integral sign: fracmathrmdmathrmdxleft(int_phi(x)^psi(x) f(t)mathrmdtright) = f(psi(x))psi'(x) - f(phi(x))phi'(x) ### Core Logic Rewrite equation to isolate the integral kernel: y = 1 - 2x + e^x int_0^x e^-t f(t)mathrmdt Differentiating with respect to x using product rule and Leibniz rule: fracmathrmdymathrmdx = -2 + e^x int_0^x e^-t f(t)mathrmdt + e^x cdot left(e^-x f(x)right) Notice that e^x int_0^x e^-t f(t)mathrmdt = y - (1 - 2x). Substitute this back: fracmathrmdymathrmdx = -2 + [y - 1 + 2x] + y implies fracmathrmdymathrmdx - 2y = 2x - 3 ### Step 1: Solve Differential Equation Integrating factor textI.F. = e^int -2 mathrmdx = e^-2x. y e^-2x = int (2x - 3)e^-2xmathrmdx = frac-(2x - 3)2e^-2x - frac12e^-2x + c From original equation, at x=0, f(0) = 1. Evaluating c: 1 = frac32 - frac12 + c implies c = 0 Thus, y = -x + 1 implies x + y = 1. ### Step 2: Calculate Area The boundary line is x + y = 1. The area bounded by this line and coordinate axes is a right triangle with intercepts (1,0) and (0,1): textArea = frac12 times 1 times 1 = frac12 ### Pattern Recognition Integral equations of convolution type (e^x-t) always simplify directly into standard linear ordinary differential equations of first or second order when tracking Leibniz rules properly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 12 Mathematics: Area Under Curves

### Related Formula For a linear differential equation fracdydx + Py = Q, the Integrating Factor (IF) is defined as: textIF = e^int P \, dx ### Core Logic Divide the full differential equation by (x^2+1): fracdydx - left(frac2xx^2+1right)y = frac(x^2+1)^2 cos xx^2+1 = (x^2+1)cos x This is a standard Linear Differential Equation with: P = -frac2xx^2+1, quad Q = (x^2+1)cos x textIF = e^int -frac2xx^2+1\,dx = e^-ln(x^2+1) = frac1x^2+1 ### Step 1: Solve for General Solution The solution format is y cdot textIF = int Q cdot textIF \, dx: y cdot frac1x^2+1 = int (x^2+1)cos x cdot frac1x^2+1 \, dx fracyx^2+1 = sin x + c Using the boundary condition y(0) = 1: frac10+1 = sin(0) + c implies c = 1 y = (x^2+1)(sin x + 1) ### Step 2: Definite Integration Evaluation We need to evaluate int_-3^3 y \, dx: int_-3^3 (x^2+1)(sin x + 1) \, dx = int_-3^3 (x^2sin x + x^2 + sin x + 1) \, dx By symmetry of odd/even functions over symmetric intervals [-a, a]: int_-3^3 x^2sin x \, dx = 0 (since it is an odd function) int_-3^3 sin x \, dx = 0 (since it is an odd function) Thus, we are left with the even components: int_-3^3 (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 int_0^3 (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 left[ fracx^33 + x right]_0^3 = 2(9 + 3) = 24 ### Pattern Recognition Splitting a symmetric interval integral into odd and even parts immediately simplifies calculations by dropping all odd functions down to zero. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

### Related Formula A linear differential equation of the first order matching fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) uses an Integrating Factor written as: textI.F. = e^int P(x) dx ### Core Logic Rearrange the given differential equation terms to express it in standard linear form: (1 + x^2) fracdydx + xy = 5x^2sqrt1 + x^2 fracdydx + left(fracx1+x^2right)y = frac5x^2sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 1: Compute Integrating Factor Calculate the exponent integral for textI.F.: int P(x) dx = int fracx1+x^2 dx = frac12 ln(1+x^2) = lnsqrt1+x^2 textI.F. = e^lnsqrt1+x^2 = sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 2: General Solution and Boundary Condition The general solution template is: y cdot (textI.F.) = int Q(x) cdot (textI.F.) dx ysqrt1+x^2 = int frac5x^2sqrt1+x^2 cdot sqrt1+x^2 dx ysqrt1+x^2 = int 5x^2 dx = frac5x^33 + C Apply the initial condition y(0) = 0: 0 cdot sqrt1+0 = 0 + C implies C = 0 Thus, the explicit functional equation is: y = frac5x^33sqrt1+x^2 ### Step 3: Evaluate at Target Value Substitute x = sqrt3 into the isolated function: y(sqrt3) = frac5(sqrt3)^33sqrt1+(sqrt3)^2 = frac5(3sqrt3)3sqrt1+3 = frac15sqrt33 cdot 2 = frac5sqrt32 ### Pattern Recognition Spotting that multiplying across the differential equation format by sqrt1+x^2 converts the left hand side into a direct product rule derivative matching fracddx(ysqrt1+x^2) yields a direct integration pathway. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Differential Equations
