10. If $y(x)$ is the solution of the differential equation

$$ \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{2 x+1}{x} y=e^{-2 x}, x>0 $$

where $y(1)=\frac{1}{2} e^{-2}$, then

(b) $y(x)$ is decreasing in $(0,1)$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (a)

Solution:

  1. We have, $\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{2 x+1}{x} y=e^{-2 x}$

which is of the form $\frac{d y}{d x}+P y=Q$, where

$$ P=\frac{2 x+1}{x} \text { and } Q=e^{-2 x} $$

Now, IF $=e^{\int P d x}=e^{\int \frac{1+2 x}{x} d x}=e^{\int \frac{1}{x}+2 d x}$

$$ =e^{\ln x+2 x}=e^{\ln x} \cdot e^{2 x}=x \cdot e^{2 x} $$

and the solution of the given equation is

$$ \begin{aligned} y \cdot(IF) & =\int(IF) Q d x+C \\ \Rightarrow \quad y\left(x e^{2 x}\right) & =\int\left(x e^{2 x} \cdot e^{-2 x}\right) d x+C \\ & =\int x d x+C=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+C \end{aligned} $$

Since, $y=\frac{1}{2} e^{-2}$ when $x=1$

$\therefore \quad \frac{1}{2} e^{-2} \cdot e^{2}=\frac{1}{2}+C \Rightarrow C=0$ (using Eq. (i))

$\therefore \quad y\left(x e^{2 x}\right)=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad y=\frac{x}{2} e^{-2 x}$

Now, $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2} e^{-2 x}+\frac{x}{2} e^{-2 x}(-2)=e^{-2 x} \frac{1}{2}-x \quad<0$,

if $\frac{1}{2}<x<1$

[by using product rule of derivative]

and $y\left(\log _e 2\right)=\frac{\log _e 2}{2} e^{-2 \log _e 2}=\frac{1}{2} \log _e 2 e^{\log _e 2^{-2}}$

$$ =\frac{1}{2} \cdot \log _e 2 \cdot 2^{-2}=\frac{1}{8} \log _e 2 $$
