Question:

The equation of one of the curves whose slope at any point is equal to $y + 2x$ is

Updated On: Jun 18, 2022
  • $y = 2\left(e^{x} + x -1\right)$
  • $y = 2\left(e^{x} - x -1\right)$
  • $y = 2\left(e^{x} - x +1\right)$
  • $y = 2\left(e^{x} + x +1\right)$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given, $\frac{d y}{d x}=y+2 x\,\,\,...(i)$
Put $y+2 x=z$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}+2=\frac{d z}{d x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d z}{d x}-2\,\,\,...(ii)$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
$\frac{d z}{d x}-2=z$
$\Rightarrow \int \frac{d z}{z+2}=\int d x$
$\Rightarrow \log (z+2)=x+c$
$\Rightarrow \log (y+2 x+2)=x+c$
$\Rightarrow y+2 x+2=e^{x+c} $
$ \Rightarrow y+2 x+2=e^{x} \cdot e^{c} $
$ \Rightarrow y=2\left[e^{x}-x-1\right] $ Taking $ e^{c}=2$

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
