Solution
The differential equation is .
Rewrite using :
A linear differential equation has the form where should not appear inside any function.
The equation contains , so appears inside a logarithm.
Statement (A) is FALSE.
A homogeneous differential equation can be written as .
The equation is a function of only.
Statement (B) is TRUE.
Let , so and .
Let , then .
Integrating both sides:
Since :
Since :
Statement (C) is TRUE.
Statement (D) is FALSE.
For the initial condition :
So :
Statement (E) is TRUE.
True statements: (B), (C), and (E)
