Exercise · ZW-FIRST-ORDER-HOMOGENEOUS-EQUATION-007 · ★★☆ Intermediate
If \(y'=\dfrac{x+y}{x}\) and \(y(1)=2\), what is \(y(e)\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(3e\)
Explanation
From \(y=x(\ln x+C)\) and \(y(1)=C=2\) we get \(y(e)=e(1+2)=3e\).
Review the concept: First-order homogeneous equation
A first-order homogeneous equation is a differential equation in which \(y'\) is a function \(F\) of the quotient \(y/x\).
\[\frac{dy}{dx}=F\!\left(\frac{y}{x}\right),\quad v=\frac{y}{x}\;\Rightarrow\; x\,v'=F(v)-v\]
