Let x = x(y) be the solution of the differential equation 2y^2...

Let x=x(y)x = x(y) be the solution of the differential equation 2y2dxdy−2xy+x2=02y^2 \dfrac{dx}{dy} - 2xy + x^2 = 0, y>1y > 1, x(e)=ex(e) = e. Then x(e2)x(e^2) is equal to:

Options

  1. A32e2\dfrac{3}{2} e^2
  2. B23e2\dfrac{2}{3} e^2
  3. Ce2e^2
  4. D2e22e^2

Correct answer

B. 23e2\dfrac{2}{3} e^2

Step-by-step solution

The given differential equation is 2y2dxdy−2xy+x2=02y^2 \dfrac{dx}{dy} - 2xy + x^2 = 0.

Dividing by 2y22y^2, we get:

dxdy−xy+x22y2=0\dfrac{dx}{dy} - \dfrac{x}{y} + \dfrac{x^2}{2y^2} = 0

This is a homogeneous differential equation. Let x=vyx = vy, then dxdy=v+ydvdy\dfrac{dx}{dy} = v + y \dfrac{dv}{dy}.

Substituting these into the equation:

v+ydvdy−v+v22=0v + y \dfrac{dv}{dy} - v + \dfrac{v^2}{2} = 0

ydvdy=−v22y \dfrac{dv}{dy} = -\dfrac{v^2}{2}

Separating the variables:

dvv2=−dy2y\dfrac{dv}{v^2} = -\dfrac{dy}{2y}

Integrating both sides:

∫v−2dv=−12∫dyy\int v^{-2} dv = -\dfrac{1}{2} \int \dfrac{dy}{y}

−1v=−12ln⁡y−C-\dfrac{1}{v} = -\dfrac{1}{2} \ln y - C

Substituting v=xyv = \dfrac{x}{y}:

yx=12ln⁡y+C\dfrac{y}{x} = \dfrac{1}{2} \ln y + C

Given x(e)=ex(e) = e, substituting x=ex = e and y=ey = e:

ee=12ln⁡e+C\dfrac{e}{e} = \dfrac{1}{2} \ln e + C

1=12+C⇒C=121 = \dfrac{1}{2} + C \Rightarrow C = \dfrac{1}{2}

The particular solution is:

yx=12ln⁡y+12=ln⁡y+12\dfrac{y}{x} = \dfrac{1}{2} \ln y + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{\ln y + 1}{2}

x=2yln⁡y+1x = \dfrac{2y}{\ln y + 1}

To find x(e2)x(e^2), substitute y=e2y = e^2:

x(e2)=2e2ln⁡(e2)+1=2e22+1=23e2x(e^2) = \dfrac{2e^2}{\ln(e^2) + 1} = \dfrac{2e^2}{2 + 1} = \dfrac{2}{3} e^2

Answer: 23e2\dfrac{2}{3} e^2
