Correct Answer: 12

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is 12
(4 + x2) dy – 2x(x2 + 3y + 4)dx = 0
\(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=(\frac{6x}{x^2+4})y+2x\)
\(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}−(\frac{6x}{x^2+4})y=2x\)
I.F. \(= e^{−3 In(x^2+4)}=\frac{1}{(x^2+4)^3}\)
\(So, \frac{y}{(x^2+4)^3}=∫\frac{2x}{(x^2+4)^3}dx+c\)
\(⇒y=−\frac{1}{2}(x^2+4)+c(x^2+4)^3\)
When x = 0, y = 0 gives
\(c=\frac{1}{32}\)
So, for x = 2,y = 12

Concepts Used:

Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point. It is mainly used in fields such as physics, engineering, biology and so on.

Orders of a Differential Equation

First Order Differential Equation

The first-order differential equation has a degree equal to 1. All the linear equations in the form of derivatives are in the first order. It has only the first derivative such as dy/dx, where x and y are the two variables and is represented as: dy/dx = f(x, y) = y’

Second-Order Differential Equation

The equation which includes second-order derivative is the second-order differential equation. It is represented as; d/dx(dy/dx) = d2y/dx2 = f”(x) = y”.

Types of Differential Equations

Differential equations can be divided into several types namely

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear Differential Equations
  • Nonlinear differential equations
  • Homogeneous Differential Equations
  • Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations
