JEE Main 2018Differential Equations Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2018 (Online) 15th April Morning Slot

Question

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation

where f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {1,} & {x \in \left[ {0,1} \right]} \cr {0,} & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.

If y(0) = 0, then is :

Correct answer
D

Step-by-step explanation

When x [0, 1], then + 2y = 1 

 y = + C1e2x

y(0) = 0 y(x) = e2x

Here, y(1) = e2 =

When , then + 2y = 0 y = c2 e2x

  y(1) = = c2e2  C2 =

  y(x) =
