Exercise · ZW-EXACT-EQUATION-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate

The equation \(2xy\,dx+(x^2+1)\,dy=0\) has solution \(x^2y+y=C\). If \(y(0)=2\), what is \(y(1)\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(1\)

Explanation

With \(y(0)=2\): \(C=2\). Then \(y(x^2+1)=2\) and \(y(1)=2/2=1\).

Review the concept: Exact equation

An exact equation is a differential equation \(M\,dx+N\,dy=0\) whose left side is the total differential of a function \(F(x,y)\).

\[\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}\]
