- C2
- D3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- We are given the differential equation
We need two solutions:
- with
- with
Then we must find how many points of intersection these two curves have.
- Solve the differential equation.
Rewrite it as
This is a linear first-order differential equation of the form
with
The integrating factor is
Multiplying the equation by ,
The left side becomes
So,
Now,
Hence,
Multiplying by ,
Thus the general solution is
- Find using .
Substitute and :
So,
Therefore,
- Find using .
Substitute and :
So,
Therefore,
- Find points of intersection.
At intersection points,
So,
Canceling common terms,
This gives
But for all real , so this is impossible.
Hence, the two curves never intersect.
- Therefore, the number of points of intersection is
So the correct option is A.
