Step-by-step explanation

Let

02ftdt=k

y=fx

Now, we have

fx+f'x=02ftdt

dydx+y=k

This is a linear differential equation.

I.F.=edx=ex

Solution of the given differential equation is

yex=kexdx

yex=kex+C

Now, f0=e-2, so

C=e-2-k

Hence,

yex=kex+e-2-k

y=fx=k+e-2-ke-x    ....i

Now,

k=02ftdt

k=02k+e-2-ke-tdt

k=kt-e-2-ke-t02

k=2k-e-2-ke-2-1

e-2-ke-2-1=k

k=e-2-1

So,

fx=e-2-1+e-x

f2=2e-2-1

f0=e-2

So,

2f0-f2=1
