Q-70. Which of the following is the general solution of 2 2 2 0d y dy y dx dx − + =?

(A) y = (Ax + B)ex      (B) y = (Ax + B)e–x     (C) y = Ae x + Be–x     (D) y = Acosx + Bsinx

 

Ans:(A)

Explanation:[Method - I]

Given that, d2ydx2-2dydx+y=0⇒D2y-Dy+y=0,Where D=ddx⇒D2-D+1y=0The auxiliary equation is m2-2m+1=0m-12=0    ⇒m=1, 1Since, the roots are real and equal.∴CF=Ax+Bex   ⇒y=Ax+Bex∵Since, its roots of auxiliary equation are real and equal saym, then C.F=c,x+c2emx

Method-II: [Option Verification]For y=Ax+Bex⇒dydx=Ax+Bex+Aex=Ax+A+Bex⇒d2ydx2=Ax+A+Bex+Aex=Ax+2A+Bex⇒d2ydx2-2dydx+y⇒Ax+2A+Bex-2Ax+A+Bex+Ax+Bex⇒0
