If a curve passes through the point and satisfies the differential equation, , then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given differential equation
We have So, Hence,
- Use a substitution
Since the equation contains and , let Then Using we get
= -\frac{1}{xy}-1.$$ Since $v=\frac{1}{y}$, $$\frac{1}{xy}=\frac{v}{x}.$$ Therefore, $$\frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{v}{x} = -1.$$ 3. **Solve the linear differential equation** The equation is $$\frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{1}{x}v = -1.$$ Its integrating factor is $$\text{I.F.}=e^{\int \frac{1}{x}dx}=x.$$ Multiplying throughout by $x$: $$x\frac{dv}{dx}+v=-x.$$ So, $$\frac{d}{dx}(xv)=-x.$$ Integrating, $$xv=-\frac{x^2}{2}+C.$$ Thus, $$v=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{C}{x}.$$ Since $v=\frac{1}{y}$, $$\frac{1}{y}=-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{C}{x}.$$ 4. **Use the condition $(1,-1)$** At $x=1$, $y=-1$, so $$\frac{1}{y}=-1.$$ Substitute into the solution: $$-1=-\frac{1}{2}+C.$$ Therefore, $$C=-\frac{1}{2}.$$ So the solution becomes $$\frac{1}{y}=-\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{2x} = -\frac{x^2+1}{2x}.$$ Hence, $$y=-\frac{2x}{x^2+1}.$$ 5. **Find $f\left(-\frac12\right)$** Substitute $x=-\frac12$: $$y=-\frac{2\left(-\frac12\right)}{\left(-\frac12\right)^2+1} =\frac{1}{\frac14+1} =\frac{1}{\frac54} =\frac{4}{5}.$$ So, $$f\left(-\frac12\right)=\frac45.$$ 6. **Check options** The correct option is: - **B: $\frac{4}{5}$**More from Differential Equations
