Step-by-step solution

Given the limit lim⁡t→xt2y(x)−x2y(t)x−t=3\lim_{t \to x} \frac{t^2 y(x) - x^2 y(t)}{x - t} = 3.
The limit is in 00\frac{0}{0} form. Applying L'Hopital's Rule with respect to tt:
lim⁡t→xddt(t2y(x)−x2y(t))ddt(x−t)=3\lim_{t \to x} \frac{\frac{d}{dt}(t^2 y(x) - x^2 y(t))}{\frac{d}{dt}(x - t)} = 3
lim⁡t→x2ty(x)−x2y′(t)−1=3\lim_{t \to x} \frac{2t y(x) - x^2 y'(t)}{-1} = 3
Substituting t=xt = x:
2xy(x)−x2y′(x)−1=3\frac{2x y(x) - x^2 y'(x)}{-1} = 3
x2y′(x)−2xy(x)=3x^2 y'(x) - 2x y(x) = 3
Dividing by x4x^4 to make it a linear differential equation or recognizing the quotient rule form:
x2y′(x)−2xy(x)x4=3x4\frac{x^2 y'(x) - 2x y(x)}{x^4} = \frac{3}{x^4}
ddx(y(x)x2)=3x4\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{y(x)}{x^2} \right) = \frac{3}{x^4}
Integrating both sides with respect to xx:
y(x)x2=∫3x−4dx=3x−3−3+C=−1x3+C\frac{y(x)}{x^2} = \int 3x^{-4} dx = \frac{3x^{-3}}{-3} + C = -\frac{1}{x^3} + C
Given y(1)=2y(1) = 2:
212=−113+C  ⟹  2=−1+C  ⟹  C=3\frac{2}{1^2} = -\frac{1}{1^3} + C \implies 2 = -1 + C \implies C = 3
So, y(x)x2=−1x3+3\frac{y(x)}{x^2} = -\frac{1}{x^3} + 3
y(x)=−1x+3x2y(x) = -\frac{1}{x} + 3x^2
We need to find 2y(2)2y(2):
y(2)=−12+3(22)=−12+12=232y(2) = -\frac{1}{2} + 3(2^2) = -\frac{1}{2} + 12 = \frac{23}{2}
2y(2)=2×232=232y(2) = 2 \times \frac{23}{2} = 23
