The solution of the differential equation dydx=x2y2\dfrac{dy}{dx} = x^2y^2 with y=1y = 1 at x=0x = 0 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Separating variables, ∫y−2dy=∫x2dx\displaystyle\int y^{-2}dy=\int x^2dx gives −1y=x33+C-\dfrac1y=\dfrac{x^3}{3}+C. Using y=1y=1 at x=0x=0, C=−1C=-1. So −3y=x3−3-\dfrac3y=x^3-3, i.e. y(x3−3)+3=0y(x^3-3)+3=0.
