The particular solution of the differential equation dydx=8yx\frac{dy}{dx} = 8yx when y=1y = 1 at x=0x = 0

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Given the differential equation dydx=8yx\frac{dy}{dx} = 8yx with initial condition y=1y = 1 when x=0x = 0.

This is a separable differential equation.


dydx=8yx\frac{dy}{dx} = 8yx

dyy=8x dx\frac{dy}{y} = 8x \, dx


∫dyy=∫8x dx\int \frac{dy}{y} = \int 8x \, dx

ln⁡∣y∣=4x2+C\ln|y| = 4x^2 + C


eln⁡∣y∣=e4x2+Ce^{\ln|y|} = e^{4x^2 + C}

y=e4x2+Cy = e^{4x^2 + C}

y=eC⋅e4x2y = e^C \cdot e^{4x^2}

y=A⋅e4x2y = A \cdot e^{4x^2} where A=eCA = e^C


Applying the initial condition y=1y = 1 when x=0x = 0:

1=A⋅e4(0)21 = A \cdot e^{4(0)^2}

1=A⋅e01 = A \cdot e^{0}

1=A⋅11 = A \cdot 1

A=1A = 1


Therefore, the particular solution is:

y=e4x2y = e^{4x^2}
