Correct answer: A
Write the differential equation in separable form
Given
(x2−4)dy−(y2−3y)dx=0
so
(x2−4)dxdy=y2−3y=y(y−3).
Hence,
y(y−3)dy=x2−4dx.
Separate and integrate
We use partial fractions.
For the left side:
y(y−3)1=yA+y−3B.
So
1=A(y−3)+By.
Comparing coefficients,
A+B=0,−3A=1
which gives
A=−31,B=31.
Thus,
∫y(y−3)dy=31∫(y−31−y1)dy=31lnyy−3.
For the right side:
x2−41=(x−2)(x+2)1=41(x−21−x+21).
Hence,
∫x2−4dx=41lnx+2x−2.
Therefore,
31lnyy−3=41lnx+2x−2+C.
Multiply by 12:
4lnyy−3=3lnx+2x−2+C1.
So,
yy−34=Cx+2x−23.
Equivalently,
yy−3=K(x+2x−2)3/4
for some constant K.
Use the initial condition
Given x>2, so x+2x−2>0.
Also,
y(4)=23.
Then
yy−3=2323−3=−1.
At x=4,
(x+2x−2)3/4=(62)3/4=(31)3/4.
Therefore,
−1=K(31)3/4⇒K=−33/4.
Hence,
yy−3=−33/4(x+2x−2)3/4.
This can be written as
1−y3=−33/4(x+2x−2)3/4
so
y3=1+33/4(x+2x−2)3/4.
Thus,
y=1+33/4(x+2x−2)3/43.
Find y(10)
At x=10,
x+2x−2=128=32.
So,
33/4(32)3/4=(2)−3/4⋅33/4⋅2?
More directly,
33/4(32)3/4=(3⋅32)3/4=23/4=81/4.
Hence,
y(10)=1+81/43.
Check the condition that slope is never zero
Slope is
dxdy=x2−4y(y−3).
For x>2, denominator is positive. If slope were zero, then y=0 or y=3.
From the obtained solution with y(4)=23, we have 0<y<3, so neither happens. Thus the condition is satisfied.
