The particular solution of the differential equation dydx+3yx=0\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{3y}{x} = 0, y(1)=1y(1) = 1 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Given differential equation: dydx+3yx=0\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{3y}{x} = 0 with initial condition y(1)=1y(1) = 1.

dydx=−3yx\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3y}{x}


dyy=−3xdx\frac{dy}{y} = -\frac{3}{x}dx


∫dyy=∫−3xdx\int \frac{dy}{y} = \int -\frac{3}{x}dx

ln⁡∣y∣=−3ln⁡∣x∣+C\ln|y| = -3\ln|x| + C


Using the property nln⁡(x)=ln⁡(xn)n\ln(x) = \ln(x^n):

ln⁡∣y∣=ln⁡∣x−3∣+C\ln|y| = \ln|x^{-3}| + C

ln⁡∣y∣=ln⁡(1x3)+C\ln|y| = \ln\left(\frac{1}{x^3}\right) + C


Taking exponential on both sides:

y=eC⋅1x3y = e^C \cdot \frac{1}{x^3}

Let eC=Ae^C = A:

y=Ax3y = \frac{A}{x^3}


Using the initial condition y(1)=1y(1) = 1:

1=A131 = \frac{A}{1^3}

1=A11 = \frac{A}{1}

A=1A = 1


Therefore, the particular solution is:

y=1x3y = \frac{1}{x^3}
