Correct answer: D

  1. Given differential equation

We have x2f′(x)=2xf(x)+3,x^2 f'(x)=2xf(x)+3,x2f′(x)=2xf(x)+3, with f(1)=4.f(1)=4.f(1)=4.

We need to find 2f(2)2f(2)2f(2).


  1. Rewrite the equation in standard form

Divide both sides by x2x^2x2: f′(x)−2xf(x)=3x2.f'(x)-\frac{2}{x}f(x)=\frac{3}{x^2}.f′(x)−x2​f(x)=x23​.

This is a linear differential equation: f′(x)+P(x)f(x)=Q(x),f'(x)+P(x)f(x)=Q(x),f′(x)+P(x)f(x)=Q(x), where P(x)=−2x,Q(x)=3x2.P(x)=-\frac{2}{x}, \qquad Q(x)=\frac{3}{x^2}.P(x)=−x2​,Q(x)=x23​.


  1. Find the integrating factor

The integrating factor is IF=e∫P(x) dx=e∫−2x dx=e−2ln⁡x=x−2,IF=e^{\int P(x)\,dx}=e^{\int -\frac{2}{x}\,dx}=e^{-2\ln x}=x^{-2},IF=e∫P(x)dx=e∫−x2​dx=e−2lnx=x−2, since x>0x>0x>0.


  1. Multiply the equation by the integrating factor

Multiplying by x−2x^{-2}x−2: x−2f′(x)−2x−3f(x)=3x−4.x^{-2}f'(x)-2x^{-3}f(x)=3x^{-4}.x−2f′(x)−2x−3f(x)=3x−4.

Notice that the left side is ddx(f(x)x−2).\frac{d}{dx}\left(f(x)x^{-2}\right).dxd​(f(x)x−2).

So, ddx(f(x)x2)=3x4.\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{f(x)}{x^2}\right)=\frac{3}{x^4}.dxd​(x2f(x)​)=x43​.


  1. Integrate both sides

Integrating, f(x)x2=∫3x−4 dx=3⋅x−3−3+C=−x−3+C.\frac{f(x)}{x^2}=\int 3x^{-4}\,dx=3\cdot \frac{x^{-3}}{-3}+C=-x^{-3}+C.x2f(x)​=∫3x−4dx=3⋅−3x−3​+C=−x−3+C.

Hence, f(x)x2=C−1x3.\frac{f(x)}{x^2}=C-\frac{1}{x^3}.x2f(x)​=C−x31​.

Multiplying by x2x^2x2: f(x)=Cx2−1x.f(x)=Cx^2-\frac{1}{x}.f(x)=Cx2−x1​.


  1. Use the initial condition

Given f(1)=4f(1)=4f(1)=4: 4=C(1)2−1⇒4=C−1⇒C=5.4=C(1)^2-1 \Rightarrow 4=C-1 \Rightarrow C=5.4=C(1)2−1⇒4=C−1⇒C=5.

Thus, f(x)=5x2−1x.f(x)=5x^2-\frac{1}{x}.f(x)=5x2−x1​.


  1. Compute f(2)f(2)f(2)

f(2)=5(2)2−12=20−12=392.f(2)=5(2)^2-\frac{1}{2}=20-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{39}{2}.f(2)=5(2)2−21​=20−21​=239​.

Therefore, 2f(2)=2⋅392=39.2f(2)=2\cdot \frac{39}{2}=39.2f(2)=2⋅239​=39.


  1. Check the options

The correct option is 39\boxed{39}39​ which is Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

So they agree.
