Question

Let be a differentiable function such that and let satisfy the differential equation . If , then is equal to

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
A

Step-by-step explanation

To solve the given problem, let's start by considering the equation:

Differentiate both sides with respect to :

Rearranging gives:

Now, consider the differential equation:

Substitute :

This simplifies to:

To solve this, we use an Integrating Factor (I.F):

Multiply the entire differential equation by the Integrating Factor:

This implies:

Integrate both sides with respect to :

Given the initial condition :

Thus:

Evaluate at :

Solving for :

Therefore, .
