From: JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Morning Slot
Question
If y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation, such that y(0) = 0, then
y(1) is equal to:
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C1 + loge2
Step-by-step explanation
Given,
....(1)
Let
So here p = -1 and q = ex
We know, IF =
= =
t. =
t. = x + c
Putting value of t, we get
= x + c
.....(2)
Given y(0) = 0 means y = 0 when x = 0.
Putting in equation (2), we get
e0 = 0 + c
c = 1
....(3)
Now we have to find y(1), which means when x = 1 find the value of y in the above equation.
Putting x = 1 in equation (3)
y - 1 = loge2
y = 1 + loge2
